HIYA

So here's another video I made, it's a little different from what I usually do, it's made up of lots of awesome movie clips and stuff and I enjoyed working on it quite a lot!

 sorry I have to put the link here because the embedding thing has changed and it is so annoying, so check it out: HEEEERRRRRREEEEEEEE

LET IT BREATHE

I've been having some issues with my domain name so I don't even know if people can see this anymore but ANYWAY... I've been working away on more lyric videos and here's a new one!



It was made with the help of my talented friend Catherine Unger and we went for a more sketchy kinda vibe that we thought suited the song nicely. Enjoy!

SERIES 2

I mentioned this a while ago but probably should again... SERIES 2 of Operation Ouch has been on CBBC at 17:30 on mondays for about 4 weeks, so if you've been missing it, you've been missing out on such gems as this:

I worked on a lot more of the animation for this series so chances are, if you've seen any of it I would've probably animated something on it, woo!

CC PAGE TURN

I've been making more lyric videos - hooray, I hear the crowd cry.

This one is for a jovial young fellow named Big Narstie working with producers True Tiger for their track Headgone.

Have a watch here:

Obviously made in a 'comic book' style (which I potentially may have regretted as an idea starting point haha) and it made full use of animation preset CC page turn (THANKS after effects) but I do like it, there are some bits I probably should do again but time was running out - it was needed for its premiere on Noisey a music off-spin of Vice which I thought was kinda cool.

DOUBLE

HELLO

So, again, I've been busy - finishing up with the second series of Operation Ouch! for CBBC (more about that later), working more for Nickelodeon and doing general other projects one of which is THIS:



A lyric video for the talented Jessica Agombar (once of Parade """fame"""). I got to do whatever I wanted with it and I'm pretty pleased with the results, the patterns came from old indian designs mixed with some traditional chinese but re-created in a modern style. I think it fits the track well.

I also did a little bit of artwork for the track:

Based on the patterns again combined with Jessica's love of these awful flats in Bow where she's from hahaha.

OH AND ALSO it all got featured on popjustice which is a website I go on a lot so I'm pretty pleased about that (for me and her)

FALL INTO ME

I just remembered to post this, I have been too busy in life... here's another lyric video I made for a lovely fellow named Dj Askery, it mixed real footage with the usual motion graphics stuff, which I enjoyed doing a lot.

POP

So here's a book cover I designed for a friend of mine:

And here it is on amazon... 

Oh yeeeeeeah. Now I'm going to give up my career and become a popstar.

BUDDYBOUNCE

New Year New Work.

Here's a nice little animated intro video I made for the soon-to-be-launched website BuddyBounce (they've put it online now so I can too!)

(there needs to be some better player for these...)

MORE LYRICS

A couple of weeks ago I finished working on a lyrics video for a delightful young man named Hudson Henry. He saw the one I made for Parade and liked the clean style of it so asked me to make him one in a similar vein and hey presto... here are the results...

  

SHOWREEL 2012

This year has gone fast. So fast, almost too fast... but to coincide with the year ending I have updated my showreel accordingly. Feel free to view as you please and at your leisure.

The player cuts off the right hand side... why must life be such a challenge? Maybe just watch on Vimeo

TEENEVENTS

Hello again

So I've been working alongside Olly again, creating an instructional/information video for a new site he's working on (which is gonna be really cool) you can follow his progress here: http://www.olivermeakings.com/

Haven't animated anything like this before, it was a bit of a challenge trying to create the right imagery and voice over that was universally understandable but I think we've nearly nailed it.

Take a look here:

also includes; a unicorn clock, "bubbly's in the fridge" woman, the worlds grumpiest cat and a pug with a parasol. See if you can spot them all...

OUCH

So I mentioned earlier this year that I'd been working on something for a new show on CBBC, and it's finally on tv - shown on Wednesday at 5:45 on the cbbc channel. Hooray!

I'm not sure how much I can say still since it's just started, but here's a couple of screen grabs from some of the bits I worked on *SPOILERS*

Check it out. The show is a bit too gross for me though. Hahaha.

THIS IS NORMAL

Here's another thing I did...

It's a music video for The Soundcarriers (feat. Elijah Wood) and has this kinda psychedelic kinda retro-y vibe, with lots of shapes and colours and things. It's long, but stick with it...

^^ That youtube player is so pants. Square videos?! What is this 1955? So here's the link if you'd like to go to youtube.

AUGUST UPDATES

So yeah... I've been busy...

Been working on a new series for CBBC, don't think I can say much yet but here's a tiny screengrab from one of the end episodes where I've been drawn in

Forever with headphones in. I have them in now, I'm not even listening to music...

ONWARDS

Have also started work on a new music video for The Soundcarriers, it's got a "retro" kinda vibe and features someone kinda cool

It's gonna be fun working with shapes and stuff, and trying to get a 60s kinda vibe. 

So there you go. THERE'S MORE... but I can't tell you about that yet.

LIGHT ME UP

Here's a thing that I did...

Oh Parade, why must I keep returning to you?! Anyway, they have this free download out and they needed some kind of video to go with it, step forward chief animator of the band, Emmie...it took some sleepless nights but here we go.

(UPDATE: 11,000+ views in two days isn't too shabby UPDATE 2: it's passed 77,000 views, woo)

PARADE TV

As I was on my jollys around the UK with Parade, I filmed pretty much every moment they weren't sleeping... but they did sleep a lot... and created a little tv show called Parade TV. I animated the titles, inbetween bits and edited it all together. Lovely.

Here's show one but go HERE for the others.

JOIN THE PARADE

I've been working with girlband Parade for a while now - made a few things for them, but these are the coolest...

To start with I created some flyers for them to distribute whilst they went on tour with boyband The Wanted

But it was decided that I should actually go on tour with them to help distribute said flyers (and film lots of footage, but more on that later) however this is what mainly happened

ANYWAY, to co-incide with that I create a range of limited edition tshirts for the fans to buy, this is what they looked like

and here's one of the group with the printed tee...

NOT ONLY THAT I made a short video for them to come on stage to every night whilst on tour, it was just edited together, but we seen by many thousands of screaming teenage girls each night, nice.

Not that you can tell what it is from this picture.

OTHER THINGS 2

Logo for Showcase Live (there's an animated version of this somewhere too...)

OTHER THINGS

This Must Be Pop LIVE posters...

INSIDE SBTV

I was asked to do some animations for a new series to be shown on Channel 4. This was Inside SBTV: From Bedroom to Boardroom, about the growth of internet-based urban musician launch-pad show SBTV (now there's a mouthful).

I created two or three animations for each show and there were five shows which you can watch HERE on 4OD. I will put them up individually for you to watch soon and they're in my showreel.

Did someone say stills...?!
