I’ve finally completed a version of this film that we are happy with, I’m so glad not to have to work on it any more though, it had just started to turn me in to a mentalface, so yay it’s done!

A collaboration with Ben Cady, Pete Millard and Jess Waignwright, from the University of Wales, Newport, this film is to comment on the growing apathy of the human race through a metaphoric decent using hot air balloons. This for me is the most extensively successful film I’ve worked on so far, and I think the journey from ideas to final realisation took about 8 weeks, although we do still want it to develop further. If you haven’t hit HQ to watch this, you know you want to!

People watching… I love watching how people work, mannerisms, facial expressions, actions and all that! I edited footage filmed by Jack & Dan Caulfield.

As it’s the coldest time of year we figured we should go and dive in the sea! This was inspired by Elephant gun- by Beirut, and it’s sort of a collaboration I did with post-student filmmaker Dan Caulfield.

This short film is a response to the illusion of reality that we have accepted. The main idea is that the indexical footage has been made untrue by changing the film’s progression through time on the screen, and the animated scene is made true as they become observers consuming the illusion. Or some such like that…!

with my recent project making me think of different realities, it seems that my art is following suit…

for me, this early test comments on breaking a created reality which wasn’t real in the first place.

Here’s a bit of my first real try at stop motion, the puppet’s made of wire, k&s tubing, foam and all sorts like that with a outer covering of plasticine, I chose to animate to Jim Carrey because it would be a challenge to keep up with his energy.

I finally got hold of some of my A-level art that had been kept hanging on school walls for a few years

to drift

with every passion

till my soul's a stringed lute on which all winds can play

a explored two extremes: expressionism and realism

realism close up

realism and people watching

So I started my second year in animation at the University of Wales Newport with some motion design, and just wanted to try out making a character interact with reality, it took one or two days but was my first real try at working in after effects.
