10 dimensions


Try this one, it's lots of fun, despite the fact that it lost me somewhere around the 7th dimension...

Condoms

Health campaign pitch, trying to teach german football supporters to fxxx responsibly.
I liked the teat wobble...

Looping

Here is something fun to do on hot summer nights.
Design a little logo (It's the E4 logo here, a london based TV station)
print it out once normal andon the reverse in reverse.
Get some matresses and fall into them holding the logo:
normal,
upside down,
upside down and flopped and
normal and flopped.
Film yourself and
Cut the whole thing together in After fx or whatever they use where you work.
I did some others wich involved hopping, but never put them together.
Hope you like it...

Peter Sellers

The Story:
About 4 years ago I was approached to pitch on the title-sequence for "The life and death of Peter Sellers"
After several runs on the design, I finally animated the test you see here in Flash. It was just meant to show that you could do something graphic on a budget and it took a couple of days to complete. Steve Hopkins, the "director" kept asking me to do more and more work on it, including getting fellow designers involved. When I finally asked them to involve a production company as I could not carry this any further on my own finances, they told the production company not to bother, as the job was likely to go to another company.

Something they could have told me before I spent all that time.
Ah, Mr Hopkins, another hero of mine...

The final titles won at least 4 major awards and I honestly don't know why.

Check them out here:

or don't bother.

That's him


Met this guy last night, who was all fuzzy and out of focus...
One of those mad nights, where simply everybody's out...

I love summer

Paisley


Sorry, must be the sweltering weather or the hormones.
To those of you easily offended by paisley patterns I apologise profoundly and profusely...

Apis cucullatus


Had our first proper honey harvest last week and will be spinning our way to sweet happiness again tonight, celebrating the purchase of our very own extractor.
So I spent some time on the weekend, coming up with a design for our honey labels.
This is work in progress, don't like the type yet. will keep you all posted about the quantities we nick off the little nippers.
Also, got stung for the first time yesterday, a mosquitibite is worst...
