The Girl Without A Face

Very pleased to share my second animated music video here! I was commissioned by Moths of the Moon (a side project of Bimingham-based band Pram) to make a stop motion animation to accompany a track on their recently released EP “Another Place” (Ondes Positives Recordings). It’s a kind of dark, but not too dark, Pogles-esqueContinue reading “The Girl Without A Face”

Really interesting, and extremely useful for a kids puppetContinue reading “Puppets in Exeter”

Interactive Digital Media at Magic Carpet

An art-technology mashup! First, the guys drew a jungle-forest backgound, and then, separately, created some fierce  animal characters which we cut out and animated against a green screen. Then, through the magic of digital media, we overlayed the animation on the background, and projected the whole thing onto a screen and, as you can see,!Continue reading “Interactive Digital Media at Magic Carpet”
