    paper Showreel 2025
    Does what it says on the tin really, this is my current showreel of animation work. https://vimeo.com/466643383
    paper Juice Park
    This began life as a response to yet another ghosting after apparently making it through the first stage of selection. I really don't know how this culture became normalized, but I am noticing it more and more. It really doesn't take much to send a one sentence email explaining that you are going with someone else or the project itself has been cancelled. Anyway, I created this as a time trial excercise, since the question asked of me was how long it would take to create something like this. I decided to create the video from scratch with the estimate that it would take 2 days in the style of the reference. This video itself actually took 4, but it is also a significant upgrade, if I do say so myself, on the reference video provided. I remain adamant that the simpler 2D version was no more than 2 days work. https://vimeo.com/1068079577?share=copy
    paper AnExperience Festival
    I impulsively volunteered myself to animated this flyer for a friend's festival, and a couple of weeks later showed him this and made lots of funny sounds that warmed my soul. https://vimeo.com/1090199646?share=copyt=0 There are a couple of tiny bits of frame by frame but otherwise this is all After Effects and Limber rigs. I'm quite proud of this as expressive cartoony stuff was such a huge influence on me as a kid and I can't imagine even getting into visual storytelling without it. It's was a genuine pleasure to create in this style that so much of my other client work often avoids.

    paper One of the Boys
    Commissioned through an online bidding site to create the music video to Sonic boom Six's new single.
