Image Into Motion - Graphic Design, Animation, Photography & Video

About Me

Greetings! I like to make animation and video with graphics, drawings, photographs or live footage. I particularly like music videos, short films and title sequences. I go for a bold look with impact, style and sometimes dry humour. I’m able to storyboard, create graphics/animation, shoot, edit and output to DVD.

In days gone by I've worked for the music press – Rock Sound and Metal Hammer, taking photographs at gigs / events of bands such as Smashing Pumpkins, Linkin Park and Feeder. Since then I’ve progressed into moving images and have made music videos for Rachel Stamp, Malluka and Sanctum, and worked for film production companies such as Passion Pictures, Partizan, Flynn and Oil Factory.

At the moment I'm exploring the dynamic realms of animation and have created idents for Tobbell Films and Imaginative Leap Film Company, and a collection of short commercials for indie band Fake Ray, which have been compiled onto a DVD that I have designed also.

Some of the best projects I’ve been involved in have been film challenges where I’ve taken on the role of director of photography, as part of The Brannegans film making collective. Last year we achieved a runner up position in the 48 Hour Oddball Challenge with our entry ‘Dark Vengeance.’
