2013 / 2014 have been busy years - not just with a lot of great Graphic Design & Illustration gigs, but also with Animation, Directing & Motion Graphics. Here's a two minute sample of stuff I've completed recently.

The Berry Boys - (ProductionShed.tv / TVNZ) is an innovative documentary showcasing the stories of Kiwi sholdiers in WWI, told with animation, live music and interviews. If you're in New Zealand you can view the program on TVNZ onDemand.
I was tasked with researching & writing six, two to three minutes sequences. I then used photography and digital illustration to complete the look, before animating everything in After Effects.

300 Ft to Asia - (Cato Brand Partners, Wellington) A quick turnaround job, designed to advertise the potential benefits of more Asian air routes to New Zealand. A moving and dynamic Taniwha/Chinese Dragon made of clouds was created in Photoshop, based on an original Cato design, and was then animated across still backgrounds in After Effects.
