In the summer of 2011 I worked closely with creative director Phil Webster at Play Nicely on the titles for the ITV Rugby World Cup. I was responsible for managing the pipeline for the whole project, as well as the FumeFX particle systems used to render the ink effect. I think we created some pretty damn fine particle effects.
