		<description>I was asked to produce a logo and short sting for Mr Noah Bresbode's Barmitzvah. The event was going to be held in an old Victorian swimming bath and titled "Noah's Big Splash"

Taking this watery theme, I went set out to create the moment just after something has hit the water. In this case, the logo.

&#60;img src="http://payload160.cargocollective.com/1/0/31627/5505800/Rick_Matthews_Motion_Graphics_Artist_Big_Splash_Logo_01_900.jpg" width="900" height="900" width_o="900" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload160.cargocollective.com/1/0/31627/5505800/Rick_Matthews_Motion_Graphics_Artist_Big_Splash_Logo_01_o.jpg" data-mid="29656151"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;

The text was created in Maya, along with the ocean background. After I had all the assests rendered out I took them into Photoshop for compositing.  

The challenge now was to animate what I'd created. To give it more scope, the logo wouldn't just hot the water from above. I wanted to create a journey that started out in space, burns through the atmosphere and finally crashes into the ocean. 

To see the final result, play the video below. 



My first concern was the "The Splash". Creating a moment frozen in time for the logo, was one thing. But animated that was another challenge all together. After lots of reading and research, the answer to the problem was using Realflow. Simulating the fluids in there, then bring it back into MAYA for rendering.

		<description>This is a animation I have done for ROADRAGE motor cycle skid pads. The idea of which is when your knee catches the road the pads leave an impressive trail of sparks behind you. This is carried through into the logo.

The brand was designed my Will Campbell.

		<description>The Extraordinary Dr Kerfuffle

Dr Kerfuffle is the starring character of a trilogy of books which I'm helping create the online content for. The bulk of which is a movie inspired animated trailer, to advertise the first book. 

Over the next few months I will be posting my progress from start to finish, so keep checking for upcoming news, pics and movies.

		<description>Work in Progress (Tim Scott Sting)

So I've recently been working on a video sting for the world renowned guitarist, Tim Scott. Using Tim's eclectic musical style as a starting point, I'm attempting to show an eclectic range of substances interacting with the TS logo. Here is the progress with the fluid simulations so far. I've used RealFlow for the simulations and Maya and Metal Ray for the rendering.

RUSTY GOFFE 

Mid 2011 I got the chance to make a video with the legendary "Rusty Goffe"

Rusty has been in so many blockbusters I don't have enough room to list them all but they range from Willy Wonka, to Stars Wars and recently the Harry Potter movies! So it was an honer  to work on set with him for this viral ad for "The Little Big Voice"

		<description>Every year E4 challenge the public to do something rather special by making an on-air sting for E4. This was my 2011 entry starring a odd purple forest monster. The animation was created in Maya and composited within Affer Effects. 

The whole process is described in the "Making Of" video at the bottom of the page.
