I'm a freelance motion designer and photographer who loves the design process from the initial spark of an idea to seeing it become a reality in final production. Motion design projects have ranged from explainer animations for financial platforms, to a Sci-Fi infiltration of a local craft beer bar, to designing and animating an operating system that 'hacked' into the South Australian Police. My photography career has spanned more than 10 years, in various countries and locations from remote cattle stations in the Northern Territory of Australia, to the Exclusion Zone around Chernobyl in Ukraine. Feel free to ask me about my works because they've all been super interesting projects and I love talking about them.

    uniE608 Geometry of Circles - 4K Remake
    The original 'Geometry of Circles' was designed and animated by Cathryn Aison in the late 1970s, and aired for the first time in its entirety on Episode 1392 of Sesame Street in March, 1980. It was later split into four parts and appeared on Sesame Street for many years after. The music was written by Philip Glass. If you watched Sesame Street as a kid in the 80s, there's a pretty high chance that you haven't thought about this animation since that time, but your brain will definitely remember it. I used Illustrator and After Effects to recreate the first half of the animation in 4k at 60fps. While I'm happy with the final result, it does lack the hand-animated charm of the original. #animator #motiondesign
