As part of my recent work experience with Oilenium, working there for three days in the creative office, I was commissioned a brief to create a health and safety video for an engineering firm.
The video had to consist of 4 short clips highlighting the incorrect use of tools in the work place. These tools were a hammer, chisel, screwdriver and wrench. Working with 3DS Max, I had to implement realistic action into the movement to achieve ‘drama’ (a request given by the engineering firm). Each clip would feature a single worker using these tools incorrectly, first by anticipating the action, followed by a dramatic action that would either consist of the tool(s) braking and/or worker being injured.

To achieve realistic movement I analyzed footage I had found online. Focusing mainly on the motion of the hammer, and breaking it down into frames to pinpoint key positions in the action. The final piece can be viewed below:-
