Royal Rebels

People Presents Harry & Meghan: A Royal Rebellion - Animations from GeeFX Studios on Vimeo.

For this two-hour documentary special for People TV and The CW Network examining the events leading up to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s announcement to step down from senior royal duties, we worked with a dedicated team of People reporters in New York & LA and were tasked with creating a punk inspired Title sequence and nine colourful and lively comical animations detailing their captivating love story through to their shocking exit from royal life.

Sky One - Revolution - 4K Graphics Package from GeeFX® Studios on Vimeo.

Working closely with Znak & Co we helped develop the show with various concept artwork, and upon commission we created the entire broadcast graphics package, from logo design, t-shirt and banner designs, to on-screen animations, score boards, and a multitude of post graphics. All the graphics we're produced in 4K resolution.

For the last two years GeeFX Studios has been working in development with Znak&Co on a very ambitious television project. Personally this is the longest and most in-depth development of a TV show I have ever been involved in. I ended up doing all kinds of different jobs for production, including costume design, promotional work and website designs.

From initial concept artwork, logo design, titles, on-screen graphics, promo work, costume design and post graphics the show has grown into a mighty 4K monster which reminds me of TV shows like Gladiator and X-Games.

Here are some Concept Design examples:

It takes a huge number of people to produce a show like this. Filmed at Cardington Studios, a massive aircraft hangar, the show's scale is off the charts. Here's a video of presenter Steve-O on set...

BBC Sport - Cycling 2017 Title Sequence

BBC Sport - Cycling 2017 - Title Sequence from GeeFX® Studios on Vimeo.
BBC Sport tasked us with creating a new and distinct Title sequence for the BBC's coverage of Cycling.

BBC Cycling Titles (Making of)

BBC Sport asked GeeFX Studios to design and produce a title sequence for the new BBC Cycling coverage inspired by the paintings of artist/author Jan Pienkowski.

Working alongside GeeFX's Creative Director, Graham Clarkin, ​I ​designed various ​concept ​visuals to give ​the producers at​ BBC​ Sport​ a ​clear ​idea of ​the type of visuals we could create for cycling with these great paintings as inspiration.

The Producers​ really​ liked the visuals​, and so our next step was ​creating​ an animatic ​to get ​the timings right for each of the transitions. We also needed animation that would easily clarify each cycling event. Velodrome: Mountain: BMX and Road. Here's the animatic in sequence....

BBC Sport ​loved the timings and ​animation ​ideas. I moved onto animate each cyclist while Sean Womersley created wonderful painted backgrounds. I had to create each cyclist silhouette and build them so they could be easily animated and posed in different positions.

Top Left: Mountain     Top Right: BMX      Lower Left: Road      Lower Right: Velodrome

Finally it was a case of compositing everything together using the animatic as a guide and building each scene. A​fter seeing the final animation there was a great reaction from the producers​ at BBC Sport​.

An Epic story about not just any chicken, a ThunderChicken!!!
ThunderChicken has one crazy-ass night out with his partner in crime, D-Dog. It's adventures of the blurred-times when these two get together in this 1981 classic that has been restored from VHS for you to now enjoy!

Recommended for the mature viewer as this cartoon features violence, drug use and pretty graphic sex references. You have been warned. NSFW!!!

The Elephant in the Room

This is a short 30 second cartoon which took about a day to make and I have no idea what it's about. Enjoy!

The Elephant and Man Short

In the process of making a new short starring an elephant and a Thudercats sword! The short is gonna be on my YouTube channel and I'll post it up here when I'm done.


Here's a link to my only popular vid on YouTube called Baker Day. Inspired by Charlie Chaplin I made Baker Day when I was 16 years old using the only application I had that could do animation, Macromedia Director 5.0!!!

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!
