Hello from New Zealand / Aotearoa, land of the long white (digitally enhanced) cloud! My name is Jules and I am an animator, trading as Rocketscience Design. I specialise in motion graphics & 3D animation, based in the sunny - and somewhat sleepy - seaside village of St Heliers (I like to refer to it as the Riviera of Auckland). I've worked in television and post production for 20+ years, starting
Rocketscience Design in 2004. The Rocketscience studio is kitted out with some of the latest in visual effects software, including BMD Fusion Studio, 3Dsmax and the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and Media Encoder), running on a well specced HP Z820 workstation - so there's usually little downtime waiting for renders! And for those times that renders do take a little longer - well, there's always the chance for a bit of your own "downtime" on the sun loungers by the pool. As well as having a passion for all things animated, I am a keen kiteboarder (wind permitting), mountain biker, and also quite a dab hand at the darkly treacherous game of croquet, where I currently hold the 2015 and 2016 club champion title at the St Heliers Bay Croquet Club AND winner of the 2016 Gold & Silver Stars national tournament! Contrary to popular opinion, there is very little prize money available in the world of professional croquet - so there is little chance of giving up my day job just yet to hit the international croquet circuit. Hope you enjoy my selection of work!
