Milton's commercial work spans global brands including IWC Schaffhausen, Toyota, Royal Ontario Museum, Carlsberg, IKEA, Doctors Without Borders, McDonald's, Pfizer, Uber, and Nike. His 2024 Royal Ontario Museum film "Immortal: Nature's Symphony" features a CG chimpanzee voiced by tenor Pene Pati and earned five Gold Clio Entertainment Awards, Silver awards at Ciclope, and a Silver One Show for Visual Effects. His IWC work with Tom Brady was shortlisted for a Cannes Lion in Direction (2021) and collected five ADC Awards. His Doctors Without Borders film "Life" won the 2021 Grand Prix at The True Awards plus Gold for Cinematography at Ciclope 2020. Milton's films are distinguished by meticulous cinematography, immersive sound design, and sophisticated VFX collaborations with Chemistry Film, TGBVFX, and Mikael Balle.
