Over the years as a freelancer, I have contributed to a variety of mountain bike projects. Collaborating with amazing teams, we've produced some epic videos. My experience includes working with major brands like Monster Energy, Redbull, GoPro, and Canyon, among others. My roles have involved creating motion graphics, VFX, editing scenes, and designing titles and lower thirds.
I was commissioned to design the introduction for Brad Simms' travels across various US locations. We chose to create a map background to trace his journey, integrating elements and edits from his travels into the intro sequence. The concept involves crafting a montage or 'memory map' of the tour, featuring cutouts of Brad and his crew as they move from one location to another.
For the launch of Canyon's new design for Kaos Seagraves, we crafted visuals that embodied the 'chaos theory'. Utilizing Cinema 4D, we generated 3D lines that interlaced, forming the intricate patterns of the theory's butterfly effect. Coupled with various post-production effects, these 3D lines animated across each other, producing captivating visuals that mirrored the bike's design and echoed the dynamism and expertise of Kaos.
In collaboration with Canyon for the debut of their E-bike 'Cube', they sought a lighthearted and enjoyable element to enhance the video, reflecting the joy of cycling. Hand-drawn illustrations were created to overlay specific moments in the video, either to highlight the bike's features or to inject
a touch of fun into certain segments.

As part of a continuing project with Monster, I have the privilege of creating the intros and graphics for Darkfest each year. With each event, the jumps and riders become more extreme, and the intros and graphics follow suit. This year, Darkfest embarked on an adventure to the jumps of Cape Town, South Africa. Employing VFX, we added elements to the ship and launched those cannonballs! Jumps ahoy!
In 2022, Brendan Fairclough launched his second series of 'A Dog's Life.' He traveled the world
to stunning and inspiring mountain biking locations with his fellow riders. I was commissioned
to design the series intro. Brendan desired a fun and humorous intro to match the videos' content. Consequently, I produced the illustrations and animations for Brendan and his truck's global journey.
