Bills & Bugs

I've been working freelance for FST Digital on two motion graphics projects for Abbey National and Rentokil. All animated in after fx and flash for online promotion and DVD.

Cakes, Dust and Lines

For the last month and a bit I've been working for iLoveDust in London on an animated commercial for an American drugs company.

The project involved tracing over video of actors in flash and compositing in after fx which took time, patience and a lot of cakes!

Animation Showreel 2009

This is my animation showreel for 2009 which has a lot of crazy ass dancing! It also features work for Working Title Films, Universal Pictures, E4, Wear it Pink Breast Cancer Campaign, Redberry Digital Ltd, Bristol UWE, Mission to Seafarers and the Haemophilia Society (plus others). There's also clips from my upcoming cartoon film called "Evil Genius".

Mission To Seafarers Cartoon

Billy the Boat

Completed 5 minute flash cartoon for a charity called Mission to Seafarers. The charity helps support seafarers who bring food and other goods to our shores. MTS wanted a educational cartoon for kids to show who seafarers are and what they do. Here's the cartoon...

The Family

Mollie the Cat

MTS supplied a script (a story of Billy the Boat going with Mollie the cat to the caribbean to get the fruit for the families meal) and I got on with designing the characters, producing a storyboard and final production of the cartoon. The whole thing took about 3 weeks to produce from start to finish and was delivered in dvd format.

The Boat that Rocked

Redberry designed this site for the new Richard Curtis movie called The Boat That Rocked produced by Working Title. It's a family comedy about pirate radio stations in the 1960's. My biggest contribution was the Dancing Buddies available on download via the AIR app. The app will allow the characters to literally dance on your desktop to music from the movie.

Using the illustrations by Kate I first saved out all the pngs in photoshop then pulled them into flash. I then built the rig for the character and and created the animations of them dancing. After that I took the swfs into after effects and exported movie files for Liam (code monkey genius) to code into the AIR app. The whole thing took about 4 weeks to do and it was really cool to be animating for Working Title and Universal Pictures.

Redberry showcase

The directors at Redberry asked me to edit together clips to make a showreel when pitching to clients. With help from Dan (our talented designer) we created the Redberry Showreel using screen capture and after fx.

Monkeys, Apes, Robots and Branding

Below are some examples of work I produced to help promote Redberry. Some of these animations where used at new media shows, client presentations and as screensavers. It helps to break the ice at a meeting if a naked monkey on a moped drives across your laptop screen now and again!

Wear It Pink Screensaver

Pink Blast Game!

For the Wear it Pink site (Breast Cancer Campaign) we made this game called Pink Blast! This was a real team effort with Kate designing the characters and the background, Me animating the characters, scenery and SPLATS, Dan designed the games menu and title sequence and Liam drank many cups of tea and coded the game.

The "hip hopped" pug dog was a favourite in the office

Doodles for Noodles! ((New Tablet))

I have a new tablet that's a lot better than my old one (it was a mouse)...

Here are some doodles!

Haemophilia Society Cartoon

Finished the flash cartoon for The Haemophilia Society. Animated by me and produced by Redberry Digital Ltd, this is a really great charity that helps kids and adults with haemophilia.

The educational cartoon is aimed at young kids to show how you get haemophilia and what living with haemophilia is like. The cartoon is showcased on The Haemophilia Society website and also provided in dvd format. Voice Acting by Sounds Visual

Here's a captured video of the storyboard...
