2025 Reel

Hello,

In 2025 I will be taking Sea Beast Media, which is the name for my animation services, to new depths. Larger projects will be sought!

My current reel for Sea Beast is below.

Sea Beast Media offers 2D animation, 3D animation and VFX services, with a tilt towards the cinematic. I’m also producing a short film under the Sea Beast Media banner called The Grand Tour which is back on the cards after a hiatus.

I’m excited for new opportunities and new challenges in 2025 – contact me here or via www.seabeastmedia.com today!

Animated Branding Reel 2024

It’s 2024!

I am updating my showreels, website, portfolio and online presence. First, my updated Animated Branding reel.

The term “animated branding” encompasses logo animations, idents, movie logos, lower thirds, bumpers, lockups and more.

I also produce animated icons and UI/UX features.

Animated branding can be deployed on YouTube, TV, social media, streaming platforms and more. We live in the age of motion, not print: if you have a logo, you need an animated version, too!

My one-stop service includes sound licensing & sound design (let’s talk!). Finally, I can advise and ref those who have no identity or logo at all, although I am not a logo designer per say (different career!)

Security Camera TVC


I produced the 3D sequence shown in ~two days for an agency. I was pleased to hit the deadline. I used After Effects and Element3D, not Cinema4D or Octane.

I was given a clean plate of a brick wall and window and a 3D version of the security camera. The 3D asset was not useable and the base footage had challenging properties. Among other things, the plate was shot on an anamorphic lens which made matching (with Element) very difficult for me.

E3D enabled rapid look development, and I couldn’t have done this without it, but I did struggle with it’s limitations. The final animation and camera move have their shortcomings, including aliasing. In a completely ideal world, I would’ve done this in another program and refined the camera move, assets and materials.

With all that being said, I got this turned in and the TVC aired, so here it is.

Agency was Brave Spark.

Petrichor | Animated GIF Comic

I have completed a short personal project, which is an adaptation of a comic titled Petrichor.

I took an original comic by illustrator & friend Jenny Allen and added movement to each panel, creating a suite of animated GIFs. You can click on the image below or here to check out my version of Petrichor.

I made some adjustments to the comic out of necessity, but tried to respect the original work. I used After Effects and Illustrator, and went to some lengths to make my bespoke work match her art style.

If you’d like me to animate your illustrations or work on a project where you’d like movement added to illustrations, please contact me.

Documentary Title Sequence

Here is a title sequence I created for a feature length documentary about famous violins and a famous violinist. This is an alternative version of the title sequence that was used in the film. To avoid licensing issues I’ve edited this showreel version to a royalty free track. I added particle effects as a matter of personal preference. Again: the version in the film proper is different.

Information about the film can be found below the embedded video. You can read about the title sequence itself in the video description on Vimeo.

June: Explainer Videos, VFX, COVID-19

Hello,

I’ve had a busy Spring working on an explainer video and avoiding COVID-19. I had further teaching engagements and on-set duties lined up, but it looks like I’ll have to stick to animation projects for the foreseeable future!

Below are stills from an animated explainer video for a high end car dealership in the UK. The full video can be found on my explainer video page. Please contact me if you’d like a similar animation produced.

In addition to the project shown above, I also produced a lot of work for Wes Kane [USA], Global Health Media & did some VFX work for Harvey Wright. I’ve added the latter to my filmography page. It was fun to do VFX work again!

Last but not least, I’ve been able to devote some of my COVID-19 down time to The Grand Tour, a short film.
