Something Old and Something New

Tamara Barschak is a classical piano composer who found my work online and asked to create a score to accompany an old animation of mine, called Handwritten. This, in turn, was inspired by a sonnet written by a poet I found online myself! Quite a coincidence.

Her website is tamarabarschak.com and here is the link to the animation:

Enjoy!

In And Out Of Weeks....

....I have been doing character animation for Lightmap:

www.lightmap.net

full time, taking charge of the animation on a really exciting theatrical production that will be performed at the Disney Hall in LA, the Barbican in London and many other exciting venues.

Please follow this beautiful, stylish and mysterious blog about the evolution of this project:

I can't put up my work in progress because it's top secret, but we will have a lush site dedicated to the production after the premier.

Being Bradford Dillman

While my showreel is mostly composed of character animation, I have acquired a lot of experience in compositing this year.

You may have seen some publicity for a new short that was recently released called 'Being Bradford Dillman'; I did months of CG animation and compositing in After Effects for this film.

It was recently screened at the BFI in the London Film Festival as part of the International Panorama 1 programme.

Pendle Witch Child

Tonight is the first broadcast of The Pendle Witch Child. I assisted Phoebe Boswell in the animation of this historical documentary.

This is Phoebe's website:

It was a pleasure to animate traditionally (on a lightbox with pencil and paper) after so many months of CG animation.

Here is an overview of the documentary with some stills and video clips:
