Did some great work for Alice Dupre again last month and it seems like another brilliant outcome. The project was for Charlie Simpson (formerly of Busted fame) on his new music video for 'Farmer and His Gun'.

The premise was a story similar to the great classic Watership Down, with the video following a lonely rabbit who finds love and all done in the style of a children's book. Washed over the top was a great watercolour effect that proved very effective and stopped it becoming a boring old Flash animation. Alice's style is one that I really like and had a great time on her Ikea internet commercials she did last year (of which you can see here on a previous post http://tcs16.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/happy-to-bed-animation.html)

Lets hope that this video pushes her into the animation elite and then hopefully they'll be a lot more of where this came from. Check out her website at www.aloveday.co.uk

As for I animated and cleaned up the dog in the middle of the piece and cleaned up the female rabbit and all the small little blighters at the end of the video.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Showreel 2011

Here is my new Showreel for 2011. I hope you like it. I have really enjoyed animating everything this year even if some of the projects were just a bit stressful. I just hope all the blood sweat and tears comes out in my work. Just click on my business card to access. Enjoy!

Happy To Bed Animation

This Ikea job was for their new advertising campaign 'Happy to bed'. I was lucky enough to work on the project and produced the secondary animation and all the textures in the final piece. The project was directed and based on the style of Alice Dupre. It was fun to do and the final result is a very quirky stylised piece that i'm sure will entice loads of people to buy more stuff from Ikea.
