  • Royal British Legion – Passchendaele 100

    To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle Of Passchendaele several films were made by Dan Snow‘s production company Ballista Media for The Royal British Legion. These included a series of 360 videos that I was asked to explore using archive footage and interviews with soldiers who fought in the battle. ‘Over The Top‘ tries to capture…

  • The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas – Northern Ballet

    Here’s a thing I co-directed with Craig Bush, as part of a series of videos promoting Northern Ballet‘s production of The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. Craig decided it would be interesting to pair John Boyne‘s voice with animation to get across the themes discussed in the film. After discussing the beats of the interview, I started…

  • BBC Three Big Field

    Recently I had fun animating laser eyes and compositing exploding melons for BBC Three’s second series of Big Field. The latest series chops up dialogue from TV programmes and interprets them in a silly way with actors in a big field. The series is created by Darren Dutton and Jonny Roberts. The sketch I worked on…

  • Jingle Bad Man

    It’s a bit late for anything Christmas related, but here’s something I forgot to share and is probably an accurate portrayal of what Santa’s up to at this very moment. In the run up to Christmas I collaborated with Rumpus Animation on a corporate job. The animation and Pete‘s music was so banging that it…

  • Fish4Dogs – Fine Dining For Dogs

    Here’s an online advert made for Fish4Dogs for their new luxury range of treats. The treats are pure squid without any additives so the aim was to promote the purity of the food and the tongue in cheek nature of treating your dog to the fine dining experience. Fish4Dogs came with the central idea of…

  • Cowboy – Happidy Burdibay

    Here’s a doodle animation Louis made for Flatpack Film Festival‘s Ian Francis’ 40th birthday. It features cowboys, beans and exuberance. The sheer amount of textures and beans broke the video format so watch the video in 4K mode if you can.
