Other assorted titbits from a few years back up to recently which you may, or may not, be interested to read about…

Toshiba

I recently animated a series of 5 video preloader ads for agency Mason Zimbler for use on various social networking sites used by Toshiba to spread the word on just how fantastic their upscaling DVD players, laptops, netbooks & ginormous TVs are. Check out laptopswelove.com for some examples.

Some other pieces I’ve done for Toshiba include animations for ad hoardings in Premiership football matches and screensavers to run on their laptops in various electronics stores around the country as part of their promotions for the 2010 World Cup.

SITA Trust

At Mentor Digital, I animated some illustrations for a corporate video for SITA Trust. This was a quick turnaround project & worked out well I think! Direct link.

Kingpin magazine

I also write some occasional articles for Kingpin magazine, a European skate magazine published in English, French, Spanish and German (global distribution). A while back, they ran a series of 4 lighthearted, instructional articles I wrote about shooting, editing and distributing skate videos, along with a handful of reviews of classic “CDs you should own” and “films you should see”… Proper lifestyle guidance from me right there folks.

Sidewalk magazine

The last major article I wrote for Sidewalk was on Art, Skateboarding and Life, a collection of work/anthology of former New Deal & Underworld Element lynchpin, designer/artist extraordinaire Andy Howell. As a young lad in the early 90s, I pretty much worshipped Andy and the iconic New Deal, so I was psyched when asked to write this article, which turned out to be fascintating, for me at least! I can’t praise his work highly enough – Andy Howell spearheaded a massive change in how the skate industry was run in the late 80s, along with providing some iconic work which has still lasted to this day. Not only that, but starting off a business with Dave Kinsey and Shepherd Fairey? Can’t front on that one bit. Andy Howell, we salute you.

Another major article I wrote and researched for them was about the effects downloading/pirating DVDs is having on the industry, from the global corporations to the independent struggling producer/director, which I also illustrated – read it in bold print, we holdin it down!

Quest for the Wager

Design and animation of motion graphics for expedition documentary “Quest for the Wager” by production company Bamboo Chicken.

3 Mobile

Design, animate & edit phone downloads for 3 Mobile played when new customers joined up and got a new phone or contract from 3 Mobile. Stills are from introductory video clips/tutorials showing users how to access premium content like wallpapers, ringtunes, tv programs and music videos – they were played on the individual handsets as self explanatory stand alone infograms.
