David Fleet 3D Artist

O2: Narks and Niggles

davefleet — Mon, 02 May 2011 19:50:29 +0000

This was my first job when I got to The Mill, and also turned out to be the first job I lead there. Considering I didn’t know the pipeline, the software or the team, it turned out pretty cool. It was great fun working alongside the very talented directors McBess and Simon who did a great job of designing the world of Niggles and Narks. The agency VCCP were awesome to work for, good guys.

Nurofen: Character development

davefleet — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 17:55:16 +0000

Crazy little character made for a very very quick pitch done at Nexus, would love to have seen it finished but unfortunately the agency went a different way. It’s hardly the best 3D in the world, but I just like him.

Autostadt: Character development

davefleet — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 14:55:48 +0000

Autostadt is a visitor attraction adjacent to the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, Germany. It’s basically a big fancy car museum. Nexus were asked to create a series of animations to help advise visitors about what to expect from their visit. I got to develop the look of the characters under the direction the great Jim Le Fevre. Unfortunately I had to leave the job early. I will post the movie when I can.

Coca-Cola: Ogre

davefleet — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 09:15:36 +0000

Ogre character I made for the Coca-Cola ‘Avatar’ commercial produced at Nexus earlier this year. I created this guy and did the lighting/rendering of the scenes he was featured in, later comped at Framestore. I also created many of the other characters which I will post at a later date. The Ogre also featured on the cover art of the commercial soundtrack ‘stranger in the crowd’ released by Cee-Lo Green of Gnarls Barkley.

IOC: ‘All together now’

davefleet — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:31:44 +0000

This was a promo spot for the Olympic Commitee, produced at Nexus with young hotshot directors Fx&Mat (http://fxandmat.blogspot.com/). I lead the job as well as character development and modelling the male characters alongside my mate Andrew Hickinbottom. I also textured and shaded the all of the other characters and created some environments/props. Before I could rest I lit and rendered 13 of the 26 shots, was a tough job, but really good fun and working with the best team. This was also the first job Fx & Mat had ever worked with Nexus, so the pressure was on to produce something cool.

HP: ‘Google Maps’

davefleet — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 15:45:56 +0000

This was the first of two spots completed a couple of months ago for HP, directed by Smith and Foulkes, 3D produced at Nexus and then comped over the road by the amazingly talented guys at Time Based Arts. I was lucky enough to get the chance to help out on the set of the shoot, which as a great experience. I also modelled a handful of the props including the dog and car as well as working on the overall layout.

Royal Bank Of Canada: ‘Muffin Man’

davefleet — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 21:11:55 +0000

This was a spot done last year for the Royal Bank of Canada at Nexus with amazing directors Tom and Mark. The challenge of this job was to try and capture the retro charm of claymation through the style of animation and the colour palette. I co-lead it with Mark Davies and also lead the modelling. Matt Clark made every one of the 100 characters on his own…gulp.

Coca-Cola: ‘Unity’

davefleet — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:00:54 +0000

Lastyear I worked on a Coca-Cola commercial for the Olympic games, created at Nexus, directed by Smith and Foulkes. I modelled and textured some of the many characters, a lot of the sets and lighting/rendering come shots. It was a great project to be involved in, with a really great team. The hero characters were modelled by Matt Clark, which are awesome. Enjoy.
