Showreel: All My Own Work (nearly)

As a freelance animator,most of the TV work I do is designed by other hands, so I thouht it was worthwhile putting a showreel together that consists only of work I’ve done myself – both design and animation. The work here is a combination of work from student films, personal projects and commissions. The only parts of it I can’t take credit for are the painting by Monet (animated in After Effects), and the original designs on which a couple of the characters were modelled (the dogs on the obstacle course, and the alien on the DNA strand).

Yoko! Jakamoko! Toto!

This challengingly-titled pre-school show was made by Collingwood O’Hare in 2002-2003 and is currently showing in the UK on C-Beebies. The fact that the characters communicate with a very limited vocabulary, consisting mainy of each others’ names and some expressive noises, meant that most of the communication had to be physical – which made the animation all the more fun and interesting to do.
This is montage of some of my scenes.

2009 showreel

I’ve brought my showreel a little more up to date; here it is.

Secret Show Reel

Possibly my best job ever was working on The Secret Show. The characters were fun to animate, and we got the chance to add a lot of our own personal touches to the animation. Here’s a montage of some of my contribution to the show. Of course all I did here was move the characters around; credit for the design, writing layout, music and voices goes to about a hundred other people – though I must give a special mention to Dave Elden, to whose divinely inspired production schedules this show owes much.

Modern Toss

Here’s a segment I animated for the Channel 4 sketch show “Modern Toss”, written and designed by Mick Bunnage and Jon Link. Thanks to Bob Pullen for posting this on YouTube.
