This is my personal showreel, containing pieces of my personal and some commercial work. Much of my commercial work however I am unable to show publicly either by request of the client or until the project is launched. I have collected examples of my commercial work together in my private Commercial Portfolio and Showreel page. If you are a potential client/employer and would like to see my private commercial portfolio and showreel please contact me for access.
In 2014, I was given the opportunity to work with the Yogscast, a one of Britain's most popular YouTube networks, to produce a short animated film based on their exploits in Minecraft. I co-directed the piece, also acting as lead animator for Simon (the space-dwarf) and as lead environment builder along with a handful of other roles including comp artist and sound design.

Cosmo is my 2012 graduate film produced at the Arts University Bournemouth.
The film is an homage to the golden age of Hollywood cinema, with a modern, sci-fi twist; a fresh spin on the classic formula of the Hollywood musical. It's the tale of a simple stage light who wants to take to the stage, not spend his life trapped above it.
But how can a lamp be in the spotlight..?
