Odd noises

I can't believe I've worked in animation for 20 years and only just attended my first voice-record.

It was a sightly unusual one.


Gina & Stella

Gina & Stella is a short film I animated over ten years ago now, directed by Sarah Ball, who I worked with on Bob the Builder and Chuggington. It's good to watch it again and see that the animation style still seems just as daft and over-the-top as I intended at the time!

Rise of the cybernetic robo-turtle

Meet Wilbur, star of the school stop motion project I'm currently tutoring.
With a day job in CG animation, it's not often I get to mess around with latex and papier mache, so I'm having fun with it.

Wilbur hides a dark secret inside his shell, but you'll have to watch the film to discover what it is. And before you can do that, the pupils of The Derby High School and I have to finish making it. Two more days to go in our three-day shoot!
