This video, titled The Great Instability, was created through agency AML for end user BNP Paribas to highlight global instabilities affecting the economy. The on-screen text has been kept very simple, and the pace of the video is quite fast, supported by engaging and easy to understand animated scenes.

This animated explainer video was produced for Infinity in the UK, for their website product page relating to Conversation Analytics. Infinity provide businesses with insights on how their digital strategy is performing, and the Conversation Analytics product is used to draw business insights from audio content in phone conversations.

“Going Global” was produced for Mugen Creations, based in Tokyo. Mugen Creations provide services such as localisation and translation that enable game developers to scale their launch beyond the boundries of their local country.

This video, titled “Maternity Choices In South West London” was produced for the UK’s NHS (National Health Service). The project brief was to create a 3 minute video summarising the content of a pamphlet that was being distributed in the South West London area.

My role was visual design and animation, and sound design (sourcing music and voice artist).

The NHS required multiple stages of review and feedback, although I was given a very generous degree of creative flexibility.

What stands out as different?
With such creative flexibility on this project I was able to put a lot of attention into creating visually interesting transitions, which are something I’m very passionate about. The style swings between 2D and 3D graphics at multiple stages during the video, which keeps the content interesting through its 3 minute duration.

This 35 second video was created as a promotion for Zero Degrees Design, and was used in a social media advertising campaign.

Many of the cube faces show existing works from previous client projects, but also, new animated content was created for the cube faces relating to social media.

What stands out as different?
In addition to the visual design, I edited an audio track to extend the duration, by overlapping and looping elements. Also, some additional ‘scratching’ samples were added and blended with the original audio. The result was a seamless 35 seconds of audio created from a 10 seconds long track.

“Near Completers” was produced for client “Max Grad” who help universities increase enrolment by targeting students who had, at an earlier stage in their life, abandoned their studies without graduating.

The two minute script and branding guidelines were provided by the client, along with some suggestions about the type of content that would be desirable.

What stands out as different?

The client was very specific about some “must have” content, such as the USA flag, however, I was given complete creative freedom for most of the content. I took great advantage of that freedom in the transitions I designed to carry the audience from scene to scene. I particularly enjoy the smooth switches between 2D and 3D sections of the video, which is a style that I don't really see in the works of other designers.

“Collaboration” is a promotional Explainer video I created in collaboration with British Voiceover Artist Steve Burton. Steve and I partnered in writing the script, and I took responsibility for visual design and animation, as well as music selection.

“Social Media in Japan” was produced for Aqua Insights Japan, based in Tokyo.

My role in creating this video included research and scripting support, visual design and animation, as well as sound design.

I partnered with the client very closely throughout the entire process, particularly during the research and scripting phase, which was critical to make sure we were building the video on the right foundations.

What stands out as different?
Taking responsibility for the scripting element of this video was a great opportunity to pair the storytelling with the visuals from the outset. It gave me the ability to make decisions to choose wording that works particularly well with iconography and other visual elements. It worked well for me as a designer, but it also helped the video become better as a whole.

“IT Uncovered” was created for Australia based digital agency MindAtlas for their client, an international organisation, to share statistics relating to their IT infrastructure.

The brief was to create a corporate presentation video about the ‘behind the scenes’ function of the IT department, to be shown to a wide internal audience. As well as corporate branding guidelines, and the script (which included statistics and data points that needed to be shown) the client provided 5 staff interview videos which needed to be seamlessly incorporated at points throughout the video. My role was to design and animate imagery that was relevant to both the industry, and to the ‘IT department’ message being conveyed, as well as design supporting on-screen information for the interview footage. The interview footage can not be shown publicly, so I have edited this ‘portfolio’ version to omit those interviews.

What stands out as different?
The ‘line’ style animation that I designed for this video worked very well in representing items ranging from build structures and laptops drawn on as 3D items, to flat iconography and the circuit board drawn on as 2D items. Maintaining this same style to cover so many different objects gives a consistent theme throughout the video.

“IT Knowledge Management” was produced for a UK client to explain their site visit process to clients.

The brief was to create a video which had a professional look, and combined simplicity with an engaging style that could keep the viewer interested as six steps of a client-interaction process are summarised.

What stands out as different?

There were just six bullet points to cover in this video, which is quite different to a ‘story-telling’ explainer video, for example one that explains the business of a company. So, the two key points I wanted to consider in this design were 1) to represent each of the points in a very clear and easy to understand way, and 2) to carry the viewer between the points with beautiful and smooth transitions.
In the final result, all of the transitions worked really well, and each had a unique approach so nothing was repetitive.

“Carina Systems” is a self-titled explainer video developed for Japanese hospital technology company Carina Systems. It was one of a pair of videos that I designed and developed to be displayed at a demo booth during a 3 day ‘Hospex’ event at the Tokyo Big Sight Exhibition Centre.

The brief was to use motion graphics combined with photographs provided by the client to accompany the script that was written by the client.
My role was visual design and animation, as well as sound design including sourcing the Japanese voiceover artist.

What stands out as different?
Combining photographic imagery with motion graphics can be challenging, in that special care needs to be taken not to upset the consistency and flow of the video. I incorporated the photographs into the video without disrupting the flow, by showing them as ‘screens’ at a 3D angle that could then be transitioned into the next object (pieces of a puzzle).

“Admenic” is the second of two videos developed for Japanese hospital technology company Carina Systems to be displayed at a demo booth the ‘Hospex’ exhibition in Tokyo. The brief was to develop a 3 minute motion graphics video introducing the ‘Admenic’ product range.

My role was all visual design and animation, as well as sound design including music selection and sourcing the Japanese voice artist.

What stands out as different?

The client scripts for the two Carina Systems videos were very long (5 minutes in total), so I decided to give each a distinctly different look, to avoid it becoming tedious for the viewer to watch. In this ‘ADMENIC’ range video, I chose to use a flat 2D style with a very limited colour palette. This clearly differentiates it from the ‘Carina Systems’ introduction video, however through the animation style they remain close enough to work as a pair.

“Smart Dialog” was produced for Norweigan client, SMART DIALOG. The project brief was to explain the end to end process of using an online portal tool, showing characters carrying out necessary activities.

One particular challenge of creating this video, was that the voiceover is in Norweigan, which I do not speak, meaning that it was more difficult to align the visual elements with the timing of what was being said.
Partnering closely with the client, we were able to align it perfectly by the client providing a translated timing list for each line (describing at what point each new line was being said).

What stands out as different?
The movement of the male character hanging the new monitor on the wall was achieved using motion capture of an human actor performing the activity, which could be transferred to an animated character. The result is a highly realistic and relatable body movement that fits well with the rest of the video’s animated style.

I produced this concept-only “Dermabrand”explainer video in response to a client brief I saw online. The deadline for the brief had already passed, but I decided to design and create the video anyway as a personal project.

This logo reveal animation was designed and produced for London based record label, 2nd Drop Records.

This concept-only logo reveal animation was created as a personal project, for fictional company ‘Neon Graphics’. It was created purely as a portfolio piece, to demonstrate the beautiful ‘electricity’ effect that is achievable.
