PLEASE NOTE: I DID NOT WRITE, DIRECT OR MAKE THIS FILM, I MERELY PRODUCED THE VISUAL EFFECTS SEQUENCES!

Directed by Henry Scholfield of Holse Productions, this short film tells the story of a young hedge fund manager, recruited into a company that fast becomes not what it seems. Over the course of his employment he realises that something more sinister is at play, with robots cybernetically enhancing the employees to increase their productivity.

I produced all the visual effects sequences from conception to final post production. My work was produced using 3D Studio Max & After Effects. The effect of the arm cut-open was achieved by using green screen paint where the the robotics and arm internals were to be seen, this was enhanced with some make up and prosthetic flesh for the skin folds.
I also produced the title sequence and a visual effects shot of a robotic LED burrowing up inside the protagonists wrist.
In March 2008 the visual effects in this short was shortlisted by a panel of industry experts for the Escape Awards 2008.

A stunning short film on the evils of capitalist corporations, beautifully shot and crafted by German filmmaker Christian Grüner (better known for his high end advertising and extreme sports films as Pikestaff Studios). Through the strikingly simple and minimalist thoughts and memories of a central character s**ked into a corporate world of hard sells and false hype, the film raises as many questions for the victims as the worlds of finance, sales and banking, and suggests the innate goodness of man is matched only by the innate greed.

http://www.a3film.com - Borat trickster Sacha Baron Cohen returns to the big screen to offer yet another stinging dose of sociopolitical satire in this comedy that finds him assuming the persona of gay fashionmonger Bruno, the self-proclaimed "voice of Austrian youth TV." Originally conceived as part of Cohen's cult television series Da Ali G Show, the character of Bruno offered a cleverly costumed Cohen the opportunity to highlight the absurdities of the fashion industry by interviewing unsuspecting fashion icons and other haute couture hangers-on. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

http://www.a3film.com - Small-town boy Shawn MacArthur (Channing Tatum) has come to New York City with nothing. Barely earning a living selling counterfeit goods on the streets, his luck changes when scam artist Harvey Boarden (Terrence Howard) sees that he has a natural talent for streetfighting. When Harvey offers Shawn help at making the real cash, the two form an uneasy partnership.

As Shawn’s manager, Harvey introduces him to the corrupt bare-knuckle circuit, where rich men bet on disposable pawns. Almost overnight, he becomes a star brawler, taking down professional boxers, mixed martial arts champs and ultimate fighters in a series of staggeringly intense bouts. But if Shawn ever hopes to escape the dark world in which he’s found himself, he must now face the toughest fight of his life.
