LOTTELO VIRALS

A short while ago I was commissioned by The Viral Factory to create a series of animations to promote a new Lottery launching in Austria called Lottelo. Entrants play the game by entering their mobile number but they cannot enter themselves... The idea is to create an imaginative mini advert that features your mobile number and appeals to other people to enter you into the draw.

I created 3 pieces, screenshots of which can be seen below:

ENCHANTED PALACE

Enchanted Palace is an online adventure game for Key Stage 2 children. It was designed and created by talented folks at Brighton based digital agency Kanoti to complement the exciting new visitor experience of the same name now showing at Kensington Palace.

I was fortunate enough to have worked on the project providing my animation services on a number of the characters featured in the game, keep an eye out in particular for a rather spoilt Young William, Duke of Gloucester.

The game also features one of the finest insults I've ever heard on a children's adventure game, next time you're stuck for the right words just remember "You sluggish clotpole!" I'd like to see anyone come back from that!

You can see the add below:




It was a fantastic project to be involved with and a lot of fun to make. Highlights include the day spent at Envy in london doing post production. What a place, felt like I was king for a day!

MONSTER AT CINECITY FILM FESTIVAL

My Straight 8 film MONSTER has been selected for a screening at the CineCity film festival in Brighton. Taking place on the 5th of Decmber at the Sallis Benney theatre it promises to be a lot of fun, the Straight 8 screenings always are.




















MONSTER is about a small village holding an emergency meeting to discuss the terrible events that have befallen them as they are one by one picked off by a terrible creature that has decided to make them his midnight feast... Every night.

The version you will see on the night is the un-edited original entry to the competition first screened at the Curzon Mayfair cinema during the Soho Rushes Film Festival earlier in the year.

CHAOS LABORATORIES EPISODE 1 ONLINE NOW

The first episode of the new Modern Toss / BBC comedy series is now online, have a look below:



The series was great to work on and was the last project I worked on whilst at LSM. I was really proud of the work myself and the rest of the team managed to produce for it and I hope it does well, it's a great genre bending program mixing elements of sci-fi, comedy, drama and horror, so promises to be like nothing else you've ever seen!

CHAOS LABORATORIES

Coming soon to BBC Online, Chaos Laboratory a brand new series from Modern Toss starring Paul Kaye and Simon Day. I worked as Supervising animator on the project along side creators Modern Toss and director Ben Wheatley, who along with editor Rob Hill recently acheived great success with their feature film Down Terrace.

Video footage of these red creatures has been spreading over the internet for the last week or so now but it won't be long before you can watch the full thing.

Here's a trailer for it with music by DJ Dave Spoon:



As well as working as an animator on the series with the guys at LSM I was also let loose with a video camera and did some of the filming for the second unit.

I'll post more about my work on the project once it goes live, I wouldn't want to spoil it!
