Invest Magazine - Issue 01 Animated Cover
Animated cover for launch issue of Invest digital magazine for Touchline.
Two versions (English & Arabic) built in After Effects & Photoshop.
BBC Worldwide - Live The Story
Created with After Effects in conjunction with Liquid Light before responsive websites were a thing. This piece was designed to be viewed in a web browser, as if it were a real BBC News web page. Only the whole page is a video which breaks apart as the narrative of the news report is played out.
Sweet Are The Uses Of Adversity - RSC/Arts Council/Bobby Baker
Working with Bobby Baker for the RSC in association with the Arts Council, I created this simple animation from Bobby's illustrations to a passage from 'As You Like It' read by Bobby.​​​​​​​
UCA: Fashion Business & Marketing MA/MSc - Trend Forecasting Unit
Proposing that Apple, in conjunction with an established luxury fashion brand, might launch smart wearables, this was a speculative demo piece for a post-graduate trend forecasting project.
Modelling and animation in Cinema4D, compositing in After Effects.
From Powerhouse To Poorhouse
Animation for English Heritage, telling the history of Framlington Castle, with drawings by Belle Mellor.
Golf Punk Magazine
These are some of the idents and animated cover I made for Golf Punk magazine which relaunched last year as an online only publication. Each of the pieces was turned from concept to delivery within one day with no external creative direction. I continue to provide pieces for the magazine as and when new articles and features demand.
Brighton Hip Hop Festival
An ident I made for Brighton Hip Hop Festival in 2006. Created with Photoshop and After Effects.
Current TV - Flies
Current TV ident made with After Effects using only full stops.
A Throw Of Dice - Nitin Sawhney
This is a credit sequence created for Nitin Sawhneys touring production of 'A Throw of Dice' . 
A live orchestral soundtrack to a 1929 classic  Indian silent film by Franz Osten. 
The sequence needed to closely match the style of the typographic elements in the original film, giving a vintage 1920s film look. 
Performed in various cities around the world, the production uses the local orchestra to play the score. I created a new credit sequence for each new venue which included one in Doha which required credits in Arabic as well as English.
E4 Esting
E4 Esting, created with Quartz Composer and processed through a Panasonic MX-10 video mixer to achieve the noise and distortion. 
The Elements Video - Liquid Light for Land Securities​​​​​​​
A selection of shots I worked on for a corporate video produced by LiquidLight in Brighton UK. I was supplied illustrator files of required graphic elements and the background shots with tracking data. The full edit of the finished film can be viewed on the Liquid Light website. https://www.liquidlight.co.uk/case-studies/details/land-securities-the-elements-video/
Lounge Productions - DVD
The first Motion Graphic job back when DVDs were a thing. Showreel menus created for Dom Shovelton @Lounge Productions. 3D element created in Lightwave, compositing in After Effects.
