Seven x Olympics

The campaign for Seven's Rio 2016 Olympics coverage, was a massive green-screen production, to sell the broadcast's high tech set - which was yet to be built.

Working to a tight timetable, we developed a tracking and measuring system that would let us insert the set behind the talent once shot.

I served as pre-production designer- storyboarding, concept designing and creating animatics with our 3D team. After the shoot I took on the role of post-production/VFX supervisor and art director, working with 7 Creative's talented compositing and 3D team, to deliver the final result.

For Tokyo 2020, I was asked to help the Seven team design the broadcast graphics including on-screen and in-set design and animation including show branding and animated maps.

Working on events such as the Olympics, and Australian Open is a privilege and a definite career highlight. There is an immense feeling of satisfaction working with a team who is intent on bringing incredible global moments into people’s homes.

Produced by Daniel Droll, Anita Lun and Chris Penn.
