Stepfamilies

 Hi all,
A little bit late but The BBC 3 documentary 'Danielle Lineker: My New Stepfamily' I animated for was aired Tuesday night at 9 on BBC 3 as part of their 'Adult Season' which is a bit late for this announcement but it's still on iplayer. There are only about 5 animated segments (the rest is live-action), animated by me and Laura Ratta and designed by Simon Mills

In other news I just returned from Latitude Festival in Suffolk. My first ever music festival and it was amazing.  Great bands, comedians and everything else cultural and absorbing.
It's a bit of trek for us South Westerly's but very much worth it. 
They also have multi coloured sheeps.

Greening The Blue

Finally, saving the world with Wonky Films for the UN.

A series of short clips with tips on stopping the world from melting. We all worked on seperate clips,  mine was 'Bon Appetit" Designed by Maria Lee, directed by Miki Cash


Greening the Blue from Greeningtheblue on Vimeo.

The UN's 'Greening the Blue' website is actually pretty attractive so its nice to see them there too.

Credit Made Clearer

What I have mainly been working on over the last few months is several films for WONKY for Capital One's 'Credit Made Clearer' series. Designed by Maria Lee and directed by Miki Cash.
You think it would teach me a lot but I still think I know nothing about APR.
They are sort of interactive and can all be found on Capital One's website here top right) or on their Youtube channel here

Blind Date

I have been healthily busy the last few months but appeared to have nothing to show for it until this week when suddenly everything is being aired or distributed or whatever you call it.

First of which is Blind Date, a short film by the extremely talented Nigel Davies. It was finished a little while ago but I stumbled across it on Lineboil.com last week. It's beautiful and traditional and I am super happy to have worked on it.

Animabasauri/ Animabasque

Dinnersaurs was sneakily screened at Animabasauri in Bilbao, Spain, I found out after getting a strange e-mail regarding seeing my film in the festival. I checked, and yes it was there! The festival is happening as we speak I think it finishes tomorrow though. I went to Bilbao on an art College trip many years ago. It rained a lot and everyone's tents flooded. The city was nice but all I remember was the big flower dog outside the Guggenheim and a big metal spider that I have since seen subsequently in the Tate Modern. Maybe it was in my luggage.

Also their underground trains have the same beep to warn of doors closing as The Rasmus do in 'In the Shadows'

Ta-da!

Happy 'Ta-da! I'm back!" weekend.  I found quarter of someone else's egg inside my chocolate egg, easter eggs are one thing you can usually never expect to find any surprises in but I think I must have been super good this year.

I have made a very small update to my website, I added some new illustrations Far from being new themselves, they are just new additions to the website but I am working on some new stuff.

Good Lucknow

Dinnersaurs made it into the 2nd CMS Children's film Festival in Lucknow, India which takes place the 6th to the 12th of April. It would be so lovely to go but I will be working then. Although the oddly translated e-mail contained both congratulations and commiserations I was right in assuming it actually had been selected! Both dinosaurs very pleased.

Currently working at Wonky on some virals, I will post some links when they are aired! It is a fun project with lovely designs. Super happy to be working there again.
More N-Power updates at Aardman a few weeks ago, can be seen at one of the links in previous posts.
