Last year I worked on these graphic sequences for Wallace & Gromit’s World of Invention.

These short animations were to demonstrate various inventions and how things work. These were mostly animated in After Effects with a little bit of Flash thrown in where it was needed. It was a challenge to simplify the animations down so that they were understandable whilst they keeping them scientifically correct.

For all you science nuts Wallace & Gromit’s World of Invention is now available on DVD & Blu-ray.

I’ve been working hard in the evenings on all the artwork for this years Front Room Art Trail in Totterdown, Bristol. I think this year is one of the biggest years with over 170 people exhibiting. I’ll post some of the work I’m exhibiting soon.

I was recently approached by WARL to directed this lovely ad for Clipper Tea. I really liked the rebranding for Clipper so it was great have the opportunity to bring the designs life.

I’ve been learning how to model in CG lately. I used the 2D Mr Bagpipes image as a guide. I can see how people get in to this, it’s very satisfying when it’s finally rendered. Now I’ve got to work out how to make him move next.

I recently directed this BBC One ident which was used to promote BBC One’s Spring 2010 Saturday night schedule and featured Total Wipeout, Dr Who and Over the Rainbow. I directed and produced all of the layouts and designs with help from illustrator Stanley Chow. I think he did a great job getting the likeness of Matt Smith as the new Doctor, Richard Hammond, Graham Norton and Charlotte Church.

Here’s a design a did for a recent animation pitch. I’m really pleased with how this turned out. I think he would look lovely animated.

I did these character designs for a pitch at Aardman. The weather is surely the nations favorite topic so I decided to put a positive spin on the subject with these friendly mascots. I can just imagine these giant costume characters coming to life.

The last in the series of ads made for the Catalonian government. This is the finished animation with all the music and dubbed in English… Woohoo!
