A Fantastic Fear of Everything

A Fantastic Fear of Everything finally had its general release on Friday 8th!
We're excited to hear that the animation we made is getting a good mention in the reviews - go see my nightmare-giving hedgehogs!

Here's an interview with co-directors Chris Hopewell and Crispian Mills, talking about the film and working with each other.

Fantastic Fear

I'm back in Bristol after the cast and crew screening of A Fantastic Fear of Everything in London yesterday. Great to meet some of the London crew and hang out with my Collision family - feeling slightly worse for wear today, but still pretty stoked on the high of seeing my animated hedgehog puppet creations on the big screen and watching my name roll in the credits...! Don't let the Y fronts on the poster scare you, go see it! A Fantastic Fear of Everything opens June 8th in UK cinemas.

Admiral Fallow, 'The Paper Trench'

Latest collaborative work on the music promo for Admiral Fallow's 'The Paper Trench'. I worked on the design and making of the tree costume, as worn in the video by actor Jez Hellion, also known as Hagrid's body double in Harry Potter! That's a big tree suit.

'The Paper Trench' is the new single taken from Admiral Fallow's brand new album 'Tree Bursts In Snow'.

Last year in July I had my first taste of animation experience working with director Chris Hopewell and Ben Foley at Collision Films, who produce really exciting and memorable music videos and animated films - their animation for Radiohead's 'There There' being one of my all-time favourites! This video is the product of camping out in the woods for four days, drinking beer and getting creative with nature ..... "an ominous stomp across a forest floor..."

The Listener

A screen narratives/animation project created in collaboration with media students at university, The Listener is a short film about an estranged and slightly mad inventor who lives in a ramshackle old 'listenarium' on a hill far above the industrialized city he despises. Music has been outlawed and has since seemingly slipped from existence in the city, but the inventor is determined to find its last remaining hiding place. One day, he finds himself moved to venture down the mountain in search of song...
