motion graphics to make you cry
- Bloomberg : Title Sequence
3D animation for new titles following a brand makeover
Bloomberg hired me on a freelance gig to help with the 3D elements, components and passes for a new title sequence to mark a massive brand relaunch. Elements included nodes communicating with each other, as well as the main body of the network sphere and the connections holding it together. Many plates were produced to give Time Based Arts the flexibility to craft a fresh and beautiful final piece as only they can.
- Miike Snow ‘Animal’
Motion graphics for Anthony Dickenson’s music video
I helped Anthony with the pre-post post ?? on this ambitious music video. As well as animating, keying and compositing there was a very finddley stage of matching and lining up projections with the set.
The result is a unique music video in which graphic, colourful country and city landscapes move and change in time with the music, whilst the band members transform into fantastical animals.

- Showreel 2009
the 09 showreel has been up on vimeo for a while now…
Showcasing work from 09 and favourites before, including solo commissions and collaborations with directors & other motion graphics artists. I’d like to think it highlights a broad spectrum of creative direction, techniques and styles… a real mixed bag of mo-graph goodness… without sounding too contrived.
Works include Music video’s for Benga feat Coki ‘Night‘ (director / animator ) and The Bug ‘Poison Dart‘ feat Warrior Queen (co-directed with Tom Oswald). There’s idents and promos for various Teachers TV projects and The History Channel ‘Falklands Week‘ ident and branding. A cinema and video billboard commercial for Speedo’s Michael Phelps and typography and animation for various ITV promos, sections from a title sequence for Don Letts‘ film ‘Punk Attitude‘, an ident for Shots magazine, DVD menu design and animation for QI TV programme and much more…
Its almost the end of the year and I’ll be cutting all my new work into a bigger better and perhaps slightly shorter reel early 2010… watch this space.
- Cutting Rules
A personal piece, to play around with motion tracking and stop frame animation.
Conclusion : the 2 work well together although there’s a slip here and there, the masking tape scale is slightly wrong and stop frame footage is difficult to track, but overall a satisfactory result.
- The letter ‘R’
1st step in a 26 point master plan…
As spare time is a rare and precious commodity, this could take some time.
