Audi A4 "Living Room"

As I know many of you have seen this commercial many many times and well i had to show it of a bit more.. This commercial was completed in a very short deadline of two weeks.. We had many artist on the job and it was very intense to finish.. but our thing here at method is that no matter what comes in, it leaves looking "amazing" no matter if its a deadline of 10 days or 3 months.. we got the job done! and this was one of our great challenges to do in such a short span of time and still finish it, looking the way it did. Allot of hard work and sleepless nights went into this project and everyone who worked on this did a FANTASTIC job! As for me I did some kick ass tracking lol.. And i also did some Animation R&D for the dissolves. To watch please click here

Zune "Academy of Dreams"

This was a fun project i worked on a few months ago. I Did some tracking as well as rigging, animation on the bats, and some slicing on the character. This project was a special one as well, due to the fact that this would be Laurent Ledru BKA Biddy (creative director) last project at Method. He had worked for Method for about 10yrs and now has moved on to bigger things. He was one of my favorite people and I learned allot from him so it was nice to work with him ont his great spot for Zune. To view click here.






Gatorade "League of Clutch - Sidney Crosby"

This is one of my latest pieces of work here at Method. This is my first sports commercials i have done so it was pretty exciting since i love sports.

We had a pretty nice pipeline going to each shot and in the end we finished this project ahead of schedule. To see the 30 second spot click here.
