Directed by Tom O’Meara with agency VML Madrid. The animated spot, introduces the adorable Movistar Mouse family and follows Lucas Lopez, a resourceful mouse dad, on his journey to bring his family closer together.

Was so much fun bringing the Movistar Mouse Family to life and even more special being the voice talents from my wife and kids!🐭

Loads of fun creating the sonic world for this Champions League Heineken Team. The client wanted a light and fun vibe and that’s exactly what we went for!

Teaming once again with the amazing guys at Studio Salamanca for Passion Animation. The goal on this one was subtlety! Only precise and detailed sound elements were required so some really specific foley was recorded for this one together with some spot effects as well.

A beautiful 3D animation from the Plus One Amsterdam studio, with whom I had the opportunity to work together creating this powerful film for OPPO. The aim was to create a detailed and rich sonic world around the creation of the phone. From primitive stony elements to an exquisite high-tech product we wanted the audience to feel each piece of the phone being brought together and embrace this evolution. A real treat for sound design!

A very fun project I was lucky to work on. Specific foley elements and sound effects needed to increase this almost hyper-reality where you can feel the textures of the wood and fire.

This is an example of the many SPDR gigs I’ve done over the years for the amazingly talented guys at Plus One Amsterdam.
The brief was mainly to pay attention to detail, but to be careful not to implement too overpowering elements. A blend of sound and music to create a smooth but yet strong and confident film.

Working together with the amazing people at Jump Willy, this project was incredibly fun. The goal was to go big and bold! A fantastic challenge due to the amount of elements needed, but definitely a treat for sound design!

The challenge on this one, was undoubtedly the sound for the submarine. A few options were presented to the client and working closely together we ended up with a really nice fun vehicle. Another challenge was the mix, because on this film we have several actions happening around the submarine, but we needed the focus to be on the sub and the kids. As we have also VO and music throughout the film, we decided to minimise what was happening around them and place the focus on the cracker sub.

A beautiful Christmas film I had the pleasure to work on with the amazing guys at Studio Salamanca. The main element we had to nail was the sound of the teddy bear, which at the end became an obvious little bell sound, but we had to create several options so to make sure that that was the way to go.

A fun fast paced project for Cadbury. On this project we already had a strong music track so the aim was to implement specific spot effects to bring out the fun and joy of the film even more. Fun, but not cartoony.
