I’ve been lucky to work on some great projects at Assembly. My job now involves almost as much 3D art and animation as it does programming, which is exciting and terrifying – creative tasks really bring out my impostor syndrome.

Here are a few of the more noteworthy projects I’ve worked on over the last five years.

Most recently, we built and performed live visuals for Dimmer’s ‘I Believe You Are A Star’ 20th Anniversary tour. I built some real-time audio analysis visualisations and finger-drummed triggers for the pictures. Then I got covid and missed the final night.

We built the Spark 5G Street Museum, working with a bunch of cool NZ artists to make virtual artworks.

We made Isn’t It A Pity, a music video for a George Harrison song.

We made Voice of Racism for the NZ Human Rights Commission.

We built Oat the Goat, an animated kid’s story.

We made a call-to-arms for EECA’s Gen Less campaign, which was the first time I wrote new animation/simulation systems from scratch.

We lit up the Auckland Harbour Bridge – the largest canvas I’ve worked with.

Some of these wouldn’t have happened without me, others I barely deserve to have my name on, and ten years ago I wouldn’t have imagined being a part of any of them. I’m chuffed to have been a part of them all.
