For Vivendi we collaborated in making a conversion of an advertisement for Mc Donald's. This involved our transforming the well-known Crash Bandicoot and Coco characters into 3D and then animating them. The figures were then rendered with the assistance of an HDRI lighting model, which had to be matched to the available environmental lighting of a real-time film recording and then lastly everything was reworked in 2D.

Half Life 2 1984 Trailer [HD] Developer: Valve Software Release: 5/26/2010 Genre: FPS Platform: PC/MAC Publisher: Vivendi Games Website: www.whatistheorangebox.com Pick up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, and find yourself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. You must rescue the world from the wrong you unleashed back at Black Mesa. The original Half-Life sent a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Valve's debut title won more than 50 Game of the Year awards, was named "Best Game Ever" by PC Gamer, and launched a franchise which has since sold over 11 million units worldwide. By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original Half-Life and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the players presence affects everything around him or her, from the physical environment to the behaviors and even the emotions of both friends and enemies.
