A little preview of an animated sketch I’m tinkering with – really wanted to play with depth of field in the background which you can just about see from this snippet. More to come. Hopefully some decent sounds too on this piece for once…
Animated Sketch Preview
February 10th, 2012Squirrel-in-a-tux
February 10th, 2012This is a prop for a photo shoot I art directed last week – so much fun. I made this over a weekend from a wire and aluminium foil core clad in air-drying fimo clay. It was nice to be able to create and paint something three-dimensional again, which is something I haven’t done since my modelmaking days at Aardman.
A squirrel-in-a-tux; why not?
Here’s a little process pic for this chappy:

Trailer for ‘A Morning Stroll’ by Studio AKA’s Grant Orchard
December 16th, 2011A few weeks back I went to see a talk given by Studio AKA’s Philip Hunt. Needless to say, it was effing inspiring. Here’s a trailer for a film by one of Studio AKA’s directors, Grant Orchard – lovely stuff.

PIRATES! Trailer
December 7th, 2011I thought it was high time I posted a trailer of Aardman Animation’s latest movie, Pirates!. I spent about a year on this working in the model-making department as a puppet painter, and (call me biased) it looks beautiful! Last week was the crew wrap party (drunk times…) – it was amazing to see all the many hands that went on deck for this HUGE project. It’s out in March 2012 and will have taken 5 years to make! Look out for Peg Leg Hastings, whose paintjob fills me with pride…
Enjoy!
