Cakes, Dust and Lines


Go FullScreen!

For the last month and a bit I've been working for iLoveDust in London on an animated commercial for a American drugs company.


The project involved tracing over video of actors in flash and compositing in after fx which took time, patience and a lot of cakes!

Evil Genius Family Portrait

Work on my new cartoon "Evil Genius" continues although I'm still a while from the end. I'm 24 (or 0:00:24:01) seconds into the third act and it has been constant layout and then execution of the animation which is why it was nice to spend a few hours drawing this family portrait (which has earned some really good comments on Flickr) :)

The Elephant and Man Short


In the process of making a new short starring an elephant and a Thudercats sword! The short is gonna be on my YouTube channel and I'll post it up here when I'm done.


Here's a link to my only popular vid on YouTube called Baker Day. Inspired by Charlie Chaplin I made Baker Day when I was 16 years old using the only application I had that could do animation, Macromedia Director 5.0!!!

Monkey Testing

More work on Evil Genius cartoon: This monkey being electrocuted! This was done by using the puppet tool in after fx. Takes alittle bit of time and some patience but you can really have some fun with the different poses.
Also a quote and a video about inventor and mechanical engineer Nikola Tesla...

“I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.”

The Family


Mollie the Cat



MTS supplied a script (a story of Billy the Boat going with Mollie the cat to the caribbean to get the fruit for the families meal) and I got on with designing the characters, producing a storyboard and final production of the cartoon. The whole thing took about 3 weeks to produce from start to finish and was delivered in dvd format.
