Live-Action
MUSIC VIDEOS
In addition to his feature work, creating live-action/animation hybrids, Barnaby also works in pure animation. This work uses both photographic stills and drawn material in 2D and 3D spaces.
3D ANIMATION
Miller’s 3D Animation work has a strong emphasis on false perspectives, the interplay between technology and the organic, and impossible geometry, injecting the unexpected into an otherwise predictable medium.
VISUAL EFFECTS
ROTOSCOPING
Rotoscoping is the mechanical process of drawing over the top of live-action footage, as an animation guide, to ‘cut out’ an element, or to augment the image. It is commonly used to ‘cut out’ elements from the footage in order to introduce new elements into the scene.
(e.g. The lightsabers in Star Wars).
BRANDING
Much of Miller’s branding work involves isolating brand logos and text, in order to then augment them, making the branding more prominent within the frame.
Product Shots
&
Colourisation
Barnaby is often asked to utilise his rotoscoping skills to colourize black and White footage, as well as to alter product shots, in order to increase their visual impact and aesthatic appeal to the viewer.
