London 2012
I’ve added a page which includes content we at 59 created for the London Games (including a rather nifty ‘behind the scenes’ video which goes some way in explaining our encompassing role).
Work in Progress
Here’s a selection of before and after shots from The Pub that never made the cut. It was our only exterior shot and I LOVED the performances and wanted more of the Geezers and Girls but I guess people smoking and turning into chimneys is a little bit OBVS. Would have been fun though, and I love* how people go outside nowadays and smoke with real purpose so everyone can see.

You can now see my latest short online in all it’s glory. Please do watch in HD, with some nice headphones and try not to skip. Enjoy!

Olympic Opening Ceremony Countdown
Here’s the full 60sec (720 still) countdown we created at 59 Productions. Given free reign by Danny Boyle to do whatever it was initially intended to be screened on the stadium screens only, the first we knew it was to be broadcast was when we saw it go out live with the other 22million plus (it went out in various other countries, not all) viewers. A nice surprise after an arduous shoot in typical British weather conditions by the irrepressible Aneil Karia and Vanessa Whyte.
Crash Crash Comedy in HD! Due to an unforeseen Hard-drive incident I lost the only HD copy of Stand Up I owned. Now thanks to the Ottawa Intl Animation Fesival and NFTS Animation Dept I’ve retrieved an HD copy, which is now online for the first time. Come marvel at all the technical errors!
It’s odd seeing the jagged lines again, and sends me back to the dark weird place I was in when I made it, they really have blood and tears in them(well not really).
Oh and you can catch it and The Pub playing at the excellent Oiaf, which starts today. Yeah! http://www.animationfestival.ca

A really nice interview by the guys at Director’s Notes. Includes some hot tips on animation based chat up lines.
59 Productions - Olympic Page
So from April to July I worked on the Opening ceremony of the Olympic Games for the amazing guys at 59 Productions. We handled many video/projection elements including the 60sec countdown and house projection in the ‘digital age’ section.
You can find out some info here, and watch out for the DVD!
