The results of some early experiments with Mandlebulb 3D, just for fun. The level of detail you can achieve with this little piece of software is mind blowing. Take a look at the 5k render here - https://goo.gl/1Nk5Og

We made this video at First 10 almost 3 years ago as a proof of concept for what could have been a whole series of videos, but we're only now allowed to show it in full. I was lucky enough to be responsible for everything from art direction and illustration to the animation and sound design. The idea was to create a story around a different athlete each time, using their stats and particular talents as inspiration for a plot and setting. The music is a track by Tim McMorris called Heroes of The West, available on audiojungle. The shadowy opposition were intended to be placeholder characters while I worked on the animation while I worked on the video, but they've ended up staying. That particular character is based on a 3D model created by Rodrigo Ribeiro, available here - goo.gl/ZF8oIG Looking back at it there's a few things I'd change if I did it again, but It was a fun project to work on! Created while at First 10 Digital - first10.co.uk

A short animation I created at First 10 to help explain the Engage Foundation. All the 3D animation was created in Cinema 4D, with all the characters and a few other bits animated in After Effects and brought into the scene as animated textures. I wanted it all to look hand made, as much like a little model set as possible, hence the use of the papery and simple sketched textures.

An impactful, text led promo video highlighting the importance of data in sports

While I was at First 10, we worked on a lot of short videos to try help explain some of Aviva's products. I was responsible for setting the style, illustration and animation for the first set of videos. Subsequent videos were based on that style - although I think their branding has now changed, so it probably won't be around for much longer :)

Animated while at First 10 Digital (www.first10.co.uk) for The RFL (www.therfl.co.uk). -- An animated explainer video we created for the RFL to help explain now new league structure changes that came into effect in 2015. Agency: First 10 Digital Client: The RFL Illustration & Animation: Me, Ricky e'Sousa (1:00 - 2:30)

The showreel I put together for First 10 Digital (first10.co.uk) when I worked there. Find out more about them at first10.co.uk! All clips animated, edited and illustrated (except the Elephant and kids eating rice!) by me. Enjoy! p.s. Because someone always asks - the music is Broadcast 2000's cover version of 'Gonna Build a Mountain'

A video all about video - specifically how powerful it can be as an engaging, easy to understand and easy to share form of content marketing.

Some style screens from a video (about video!) that never saw the light of day. We ended up creating this instead - https://www.behance.net/gallery/33316087/Video-King-of-the-Media-Castle
