Luke Halls Studio was invited to design the projection for the UAE’s 52nd Union Day ceremony. The show explores the historical traditions of the UAE and how they use technology to further those traditions. Focusing on the country’s vision of a sustainable future. In my role as animator I oversaw the motion design of the final scene of the show working closely with the team and the lead video designer from concept to final execution.

Over 10 years of experience working as both a freelance and solo practicing 3D artist. I have produced 3D designs and animations for numerous commercial clients, established artists and musicians ranging from projects such as 3D logos, trade fair branding, 3D animated music videos, designing large scale public sculptures as well as artworks for museums around the world. Alongside my client work I have maintained a successful career as an independent artist, my 3D driven artwork has been exhibited and screened internationally, is held in private collections and has won awards.

My role involved working in close collaboration with the artist using a range of 3D software to design compositions and intricate scenes for the production of paintings held in some of the most important museum and private collections globally.
