Jonny The Pessimist

Jonny is a pessimist and utterly depressed; nothing seems to go right in his life. He has always looked at the bad side of things, causing him to rarely leave his house. The only way he can see a way out of this life he’s created is to sell his soul to Satan to pay for happiness. Unfortunately things don’t quite work out the way he had planned.
Narrated by John Otway (www.johnotway.co.uk)
The film was created with 2D hand drawn animation, which was then coloured and composited in the computer

Quiet Life

Quiet Life is my second collaboration with local band Pseudo Japanese. I was asked to create a Music Video for the first track on their ‘Diamonds & Water’ demo. For the desired effect I slowed down the audio track and recorded the visual imagery along with it. When returned back to its original speed, along with the visuals, the singing appears normal speed whilst all the background action is a lot faster.

Elasto

Elasto is in essence a music video for the 1982 track ‘ELASTO’ by The Western Trio. The video footage has been treated digitally and had short animated sections layered on top to gain the finished result.

Crime City

Crime City pays homage to the serials popular in the 1930s, such as The Crimson Ghost and The Shadow. This film represents the final episode of one such serial.
Cutout card figures were used to capture the action with chalk details. The window shots were filmed over a light box to achieve the silhouettes.

Steel Avengers

This film is an interview with fake Heavy Metal band The Steel Avengers as they discuss their newest music video.
As a group project I created one section of the final three using a similar technique to ‘Crime City’ combined with video footage of the band who happen to be Jim Henson style puppets
