'Raindrops' Hyundai Film

Recently I completed a Film called 'Raindrops' for Microsoft in Partnership with Hyundai. It is a stop motion animation which tells the story of how Hyundai recycles rain water at its factories.

It is featured on the New Thinkers Index where you can take the test at http://newthinking.uk.msn.com/ and see what thinking style you are.

Stop Motion Animation Puppets

Here are some puppets I made while on the 3 month animation course at UWE. They are all wire puppets with latex and foam build up.

UWE 3 Month Animation Course

Been a stranger on the blog recently. However this is partly due to the fact that I have been in Bristol for the past 3 months. I was studying Stop Motion Animation at UWE (University of the West of England) The course was brillant, I highly recommend it for anyone interested in stop motion. Showreel coming soon.

Animation Screened in Florida with Symphony Orchestra!


I wanted to share the news that my animation 'Hoedown', which is set to the Hoedown from Aaron Copland's 'Rodeo', was screened in Florida on Sunday evening, with live musical accompaniment from the South Shore Symphony Orchestra!

The orchestra's programmer tracked down the animation online and asked if they could screen it as part of their 'Salute to American Music' showcase. They said that the concert was an "outstanding success" and there was near 500 were in attendance. 

The concert was filmed so hopefully I'll have some photos and clips to put up soon!

On February 26th, In honour of rodeo season in Houston, Aurora Picture Show hosted a rodeo event with artist-made short films inspired by the cowboys, cowgirls and animals that they ride. My animation 'Hoedown From Rodeo' was one of the films screened on the night in Houston, Texas. I heard the night was great and was covered by the local press.
