BBC Three Big Field
Recently I had fun animating laser eyes and compositing exploding melons for BBC Three’s second series of Big Field.

New Showreels and a Revamp

Interview with Birmingham Living magazine
We live in Birmingham. So the good people at Birmingham Living Magazine asked to interview us about us and our films. Ian spilled the beans here.

Leeds and Reading Popcorn Comedy
We ran Popcorn Comedy at Leeds and Reading this year and it was a blast. Carly Smallman and Jonni Music (aka Thomas Nelstrop) were our acts, with Carly doing an incredible job as compere. We were a bit apprehensive at first about our slots of 12pm and 11.30am, but they turned out to be the…

Louis Interviewed by Skwigly
Joseph Gammie from Skwigly did a pretty comprehensive interview with me about Man In A Cat. Read it HERE. Skwigly’s pretty new on the block, and they do some really nice scratching-below-the-surface animation articles. Definitely worth a read.
