This is a robot I helped design for the Samsung Galaxy: Our Galaxy commercial. Although, the robot was to be pretty simple and boxy, it had to be able to emote and utilize robotic appendages. Legacy Effects 3D printed my designs and brought this guy to life. The commercial is pretty sweet.

Here’s the commercial:

Here’s a sad little dragon I designed for the Buffalo Wild Wings Medieval Days commercial. The director wanted the dragon to look completely dejected and overworked, so I went through a number of iterations to make him appear more and more sickly and downtrodden. I sculpted this guy in Zbrush and sent the file off to Legacy Effects where he was he was 3D printed and turned into a puppet! Here is where the final design ended up.

Here are a few more early designs:

 

And here’s the commercial:

I had a chance to help design the little plush panda, Ernie in the Tile commercial, Lost Panda | Together We Find.  During the design process, we explored a number of variations of this little guy, but we finally dialed it into a cute, innocent, wide-eyed little fellow that wanders the world in search of its owner.

Here’s the final design:

Here are a number of the initial designs. The director felt many of these were too obvious and expected- possibly too Pixar-like. He wanted me to try moving the features around i.e. adjusting the eyes wider and lower on the face.

 

And here’s the commercial. (You may want to grab a box of tissues) 😉

Here’s a monster I designed for the Progressive commercial, The Closet. It was fun to explore some scarier options, but the client was concerned that it was too frightening, so I made him a bit friendlier in the final design.

Here are some earlier versions:

Here’s the spot:

Here’s an “egg” I created for the funny and bizarre Old Spice commercial, Cinema, starring Von Miller. I was asked to design a dry, cracked egg/ pod shape that Von would punch his way out of. Here is the final design that Legacy Effects referenced when they built the full size egg.

Here are a few more early versions of the egg-pod:

I designed the bobblehead and the robot for the Hewlett Packard Enterprise commercials: Helping Michael say Yes with Hybrid IT and Helping Brian say Yes with Hybrid IT. I started with a rough scan of the actor for the bobblehead and then changed the expressions and finessed the details. Legacy Effects 3D printed the designs for the bobblehead and the robot.

Here are the designs:
