ABOUT :


Born in Yorkshire, raised in Hertfordshire, teenage years in Somerset, higher education in Brighton, 2007-2013 in London, England. Now, LA-based director and artist.
He is known for creating music video motion graphics such as arctic monkeys do i wanna know ? and Tame impala's- mind mischief.
most of these containing some film element and bright and fluent visuals.

Tame impala, mind mischief:

i really like how this video goes from real picture into cartoon, the transfer is smooth and very clever. i also like how each scene is linked and flowed into each other just naturally. it takes normal everyday objects and transforms then into a cartoon 'world' to create this fantasy that is being imagined, a student boy and teacher explicit relationship which is all in the boys head. it takes quite a long time to get into the cartoon part of the song, but it picks up with the song and transfers when the song gets going. 

Arctic monkeys, do i wanna know? :

i think this is such a good example of motion graphics and it all flows into each other so well, the lines always connect in some way. i also like how he brings in colour and then how the full colour gets brought in near the end. line illustrations taken into a graphic motion programme, the moving lines match the beat of the song, which makes it compelling to watch, its witty. it changes from black and white, slowly adds colour, and then return to just black and white, like a full cycle of a relationship.
