25 posts! Not something I expected to get... 😅

Been a while since I posted here, so here’s a little sneak and hint of what I’ve been up to over the past year or so...

One of the bigger projects I’ve been involved with (Even took the lead on this project in a team). This is from the works of Sheffield’s own “Flycheese Studios”. What follows is a conversation piece similar to that of Nick Park’s “Creature Comforts”, in which Staff and Students (one of which is myself, see if you can figure me out) chat about their experiences with Animation, what they love and what cartoons and animations they love. Enjoy! 

Ay up people! Been a while! I’ve had so many ideas, so many animations in the works. Here’s one of those ideas, a little spoof on the famous Marmite Advert starring the late Roy Skelton as Zippy from “Rainbow”. My ponderings were “What if you actually took Zippy’s voice and turned it into a Dalek”. And low and behold! this is the product.

It’s here at last! After a long time in the making to celebrate a year since I graduated University a special edition of my Animated short “Woodland Wheelers”. A nice little piece inspired by my social disability of Aspergers Syndrome.

In recent news during BoJo’s and May’s HS2 planning, a protester has been caught helping our labour cause by ramming into the side of the House of Lords in a desperate attempt to destroy the plans, tories have informed police to look for a suspect that is short, stumpy and blue in appearance...

Frankly I honestly prefer the Doctor as a male like the majority does too (please don’t bash me, I’m am an animator before a Whovian, so I’m always 5 awards ahead of what Chris Chibnall will ever be XD) , that’s why I did a rule 63... I’m a little skeptical of Jodie as she doesn’t look too charismatic as the Doctor... and I abhor the innate bullying of fans by the BBC... Rule number one of getting people to accept a female doctor... don’t let them get called sexist or brexit voters!  

I’m currently in the process of fixing the final piece and dubbing it “The Overhauled Edition”, intended for release to YouTube around Christmas time this year. 

An update for my Animation Showreel.

The basis was the ORIGINAL 1968 edition of the trailer for Yellow Submarine complete with a shot of Ringo that never made it into the final cut...

It was 50 years ago today... that Sgt Pepper taught the band to play! They’re still going in and out of style, but still guaranteed to raise a smile! So let me introduce to you, the act you’ve known for all these years; SGT PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND!

If you ever trek out to Scotland, Gairloch is so tranquil in summer...

Who here think’s “The Wrong Trousers” is awesome? I know I certainly do...

An Original character I created here in 2014 for my studies, based off of my own university card. I named him “Stu the SHU card”, for a piece advertising the University’s library.

Just before Xmas I completed an animated comedy sketch piece, comprising of various Lego Franchises, From newcomers like Doctor Who and Beatles to classics like Star Wars, it’s a little cheesy but the narrator’s jokes are quite funny, and the animation is flawless! 

A bit of character design I did back in 2015, I have a feeling it’s like “Brave” meets “The Incredibles”.
