Character sheet based on the Spike and Mike logo:

I'm not sure if I'll simplify it more as they'll probably look different from a lot of the other characters, or just let it be. I'll probably start animating and they'll turn into two little blobs with big eyes (my favorite).

A job!

I got some great news today! Spike from Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation asked me to make an animation as an opener to their shows! Here's the mini storyboard I did to visual the idea he had.

so fab

I'm taking a really long time with another animation I'm working on, but I finished, colored and Gif-ed one section as a preview. It should be pretty cute!

New Animation: PUZZLING

A new animation I finished based on a joke by comedian Demetri Martin:

Just a small one

Its been a bit busy the last few weeks so I havent updated much, but here's something to wet the palette, gesture drawings from a day at the zoo. More stuff to come!

Para- WHAT!

So the super cool Portland company Laika is coming out with ParaNorman and I thought the trailer was pretty great and all you guys should see it. The End

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

SO I'm finally posting my graduation film from 2011!

My fears have just been extinguished because I just won £250 with Cowboy Love at the Cornwall Film Fest!!



YES.

WATCH THIS FILM

i love love love this, please watch Chris Landreth's film Ryan, it's absolutely amazing! Why are Canadian animators always so good?

Spilt Milk

I've recently realized that I never put Spilt Milk up under the good old beautiful eyes of Clint Eastwood! So here it is, my end of the year FdA graduation film that has been through only one festival (the only one I sent it to) and thus loves scrutiny.

A SHOUT OUT

I just got this email from Rich Warren who works with the Bristol Encounters Film Festival. He sent me a list of all the people who watched my film in the festival's viewing library. The list consisted of TWO people. Brilliant. I attached an image of the email:



So I just want to thank Tanya Scott and Zara Percy for watching my film Spilt Milk! And as a gift to you, my fellow classmate/flatmate Perrie will do a dance!

Showreel!

A little compilation of my work.

Early Films

I'm putting up some old films of mine just for some nostalgic pleasure. They're a bit primitive, but still very close to my heart.

This Has Been Very Long Overdue!

Very very slowly, I am taking my journey through the vast world of technology and I'm glad to have finally gotten around to my blog. This is for all those out there that finally convinced me that putting everything in one place is probably the easiest for showing my work. So here we go!

Here is my latest film, my final film for my first year at LCC. It's a omage to my frustration and my first real attempt at Flash.
