I finished a little sting for BBC WW youtube channel ‘Earth Un-plugged’ see if you can spot my animated input…
Last Year I popped in to do some work at BBC Worldwide with the EARTH UNPLUGGED team,
I worked on a couple of different properties with editor/long suffering friend Lawrence Bowden aka @LB_cuts and Valentine Riva (Lawrie’s even longer suffering girlfriend)
I was animating motion graphics and designs by KISS MY PIXEL.
Here’s one of our collaborations all the footage is re-cycled from the BBC’s natural history archive.
I recently got a GoPro Hero 3 which (if you didn’t know) is an awesome little camera about 2.5 inches in size that shoots super rad HD video.
Anyway old Gavin Strange AKA JamFactory got one too and we have decided to do film challenges. We both take on making a film based around a theme.
Bristol was hit by snow just over a week ago and we thought this gave us the opportunity to have a warm up round so… we swapped sd cards and have done an edit challenge, same footage – different edits.

Currently working for a really cool and lovely company called HYPE & SLIPPERS, they currently do beautifully designed branding and websites. They called me in to put together a couple of animations for a green company (can’t give too much away). The Animation are going really well and the client is a great guy. Can’t wait to reveal all our hard work.

I have a mis-hap with my kitchen knife and lost a piece of my finger. I took a picture between 2 and 4 times a day until it had fully healed. Took about a month. Can’t help animating these things… I got a comment on vimeo saying *employs stupid voice: ‘should have done it on black paper and kept your finger in the exactly the same place each time’… I like it like this… if he thinks he can do it better… he should go cut half his finger off… I bet doing this will be the furthest thing from his mind.

So fresh out of Aardman, my frist piece of freelance work was a stop motion animation for web market company ‘Kaboodle’.
They needed an animation to explain what their service did. They originally wanted a motion graphic type piece but I managed to sell the idea that we did a motion graphic style piece but made it entirely out of paper. Here is the finished piece:
A month ago I left Aardman Animations after over four years of service (Longest held job), and now I am on the path of the freelancer.
After moving into my new flat and finishing my first freelance job, I finally got around to making a showreel, Here it is below.
I’ve also Knocked up a presenter reel! The bases are covered!
