Before I entered the world of advertising, I developed a passion for animation, stop-motion in particular. Many an hour would be spent analysing how Morph (my birthday twin), Creature comforts and Wallace and Gromit were created. My dream came true when I managed to get some time working in the model making department at Aardman Animations. I was to work on the props for BBC2 series 'Rex the Runt’. I continued with the model making in the background as I moved into advertising...
I began playing around with video editing, I was mostly interested in colour grading to start with but soon was adding text, graphics, various effects, and general editing. Alongside this, I began to find myself delving back into animation, using After Effects to create simple little films or stop-motion. This has progressed and now part of my regular client requirements, having now worked on many ongoing animation projects. I regularly create graphics, infographics and illustration animations for short social media posts and assets.
