An Advert I worked on.  The turn around on this was very fast (3 days!).  I did the tracking, composited the 33% shot and did the 3d for the last shot.

This is promotional material created for Wicklow Goal, Ireland.  It was made using after effects using a single photo.

A project I worked doing some 3d.  I did the turf and sticks in the sky shots.

An advert I worked on.  I was doing cleanup using 3d projection in Nuke.

I worked on this doing cleanup and stabilization on several shots

Another advert I worked on doing some prop modeling using Maya

This is an advert I worked on recently doing 3d tracking using Syntheyes.  2d graphics done by my then colleague Alexis-Francois Morand who has sadly left my place of current employment, Piranha Bar.

Only found out about this recently but my student film won best short film at Ecologico International Film Festival.  Quote from review:  Taurus for best short film in complicit - Gavin Hoffman (Ireland, 2013 , 4 ')  for the following reasons : Dazzling ! Through an indirect narrative (a man in psychoanalytic therapy ), the film explores , in an unusual way , the guilt of humanity that lives in the shadow of technology and progress at the expense of the humanity that will " bake " in the sun the third world.

Complicit won the best animation at The Silk Road Film Festival here in Dublin yesterday.   http://iftn.ie/news/?act1=record&only=1&aid=73&rid=4287025&tpl=archnews&force=1 The prize is a trip to Beirut, Lebanon to attend the NDU International Film Festival which Complicit will compete in :-)

I worked on the film with Brown Bag films using Maya.  The film, titled Anya, is directed by Damian O'Connor and is a promotional film for the charity "To Russia with Love".  I was primarily modelling, texturing and lighting.  Release date for the completed film is in May.
