Ernst Young MBA

This online spot for Ernst & Young’s Master of Business program was produced and directed at “In the Thicket”

I was responsible for the majority of the commercial from modelling / shading / dynamics / lighting and rendering. I chose Googles cloud rendering solution; ZYNC and VRay to turn these frames around in a fast and efficient manner. C4D was also used on a few of the dynamics shots and brought back into Maya with alembic. Enjoy !
