Hello, and welcome to my website. With over 15 years experience in traditional hand drawn and 3D computer animation, I have worked on many diverse projects including TV shows, adverts and video games for studios large and small in the UK and Europe.
I invite you to explore the site to see examples of my work; animation, storyboards, outsource project management, life drawings, concepts and miniature painting.
Feel free to contact me and download my CV.
As outsource manager on the Gormiti: Lords of Nature game I was responsible for the cut scenes. This involved creating storyboards from the script, cutting an animatic together with audio, and directing a talented team of artists and animators from Original Force 3D, a large outsourcing studio based in China. Below you can see the progression of one such scene under my control.
Gormiti Storyboard – I produced this with a combination of techniques, montages of assets provided to us by the makers of the TV cartoon series and some quick sketches on photoshop.
Here you can see the first pass blocked in animation for scene 14, the scenes went through multiple passes of production and feedback and I was in constant, daily contact (time zones not with standing) with the talented guys in China.
This is the final animation including special effects, (created by the animators and artists at OF3D – directed by myself) Over 35 minutes of cutscenes were produced for the Gormiti: Lords of Nature game using this process. This is shown to illustrate the entire outsource managament process, communication with the studio, storyboard creation, asset delivery & control (liasing with in studio artists for backgrounds and environments, props and such like), and animation direction through several passes to final quality. I did not produce the animation myself.
On the Silent Hill game I fulfilled two duties: storyboard artist and cinematics animator. Below is a scene I worked on in both roles. I created the storyboard from the script and completed all character and vehicle animation (I was not responsible for SFX) shown in the grey box and final scenes.
The storyboards were created using the 3D characters, props and environments from the game.
This is the greybox scene, without any textures, showing the timing and camera for the scene as it progressed. I was responsible for all of this in terms of animation and camera.
This is the final scene. It was hard work but I think its a pretty sucessful, suspenseful and creepy scene.
