If you enjoy Skibidi Toilet then you’ll love this!

This is an animated spoof of Pixar’s Animation trailers from the past 20 years. Hope you enjoy this parody trailer about two toilets breaking all the toilet rules and having the adventure of a lifetime. I puppeteer the miniature puppets which stand about 1 cm high and used a DSLR camera as well as small book lights to give the set a cinematic feel. Also hint of Matrix and Hanz Zimmer in the opening.

These quality film reviews come in short supply.

This is an animated spoof of Youtube review shows. Don’t ask me how Ziggi StuckinWoman managed to see Godzilla Minus One, but he did and has A LOT to say about it. I puppeteer the miniature figure which stand about 1 cm high and used a DSLR camera as well as small book lights to give the set a cinematic feel.

This is the second episode in the school for evil geniuses saga.
A lot of inspiration from early youtube shorts (ask a ninja, etc).

Hope you enjoy.

This is a short film I cooked up over the past months. I may make further episodes.

This is based on an old university assignment back from 2018.

Some experimenting in 2D animation. Completed in TV Paint.

Hope you enjoy this Spoof/Mash-up Intro.

Original Video footage from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Napoleon Dynamite.

Bill and Ted... except it all about Napoleon.

This is a stop motion model-maker/animators' perspective on classic stop motion films.

This film is 'The Great Escape' meets socks. An odd sock must use his wits to escape an oppressive washing line.

Made during my first year at Staffordshire University. Whilst still only on my first term, I was itching to sink my teeth into an animated short with a three act structure and story. Although it is a rough piece of animation, I consider it a success as it was a four minute film, scheduled and completed on a tight time frame. I had a week of pre-production, 3 weeks animation and a month of working in post-production. The film had over 40 separate shots and 10 setups. Please enjoy!

A bored barman takes a nap but soon finds that all is not as it seems in this old Western tavern.

Here is a small scale stop-motion film I produced during my 3rd semester at Staffordshire University. I produced all puppets, sets, props and animation for the film. The puppets themselves stand 4 inches high from their feet to their head.

I am a stop motion sculptor, model maker and animator. From May to September 2017, I worked as a Puppet Department Junior and Additional Animator on Chuck Steel Night of the Trampires in South Wales. In June of 2018 I underwent a three week internship at Aardman Animations where I worked on developing several short animated segments. In recent months, I have worked with the A+C Studio on a variety of projects.

I have experience in puppet fabrication utilizing Tin Cure and Platinum Cure Silicone, Urethane Resins, Latex, Plaster and Paper. I also have skills working in puppet design to armature construction (silver soldering), casting, molding, painting and video editing in Premier Pro and After Effects.

Previous professional experience include; Sculpting, Model-Making, Animating, Miniature Sculpting, Acting and Children's Entertaining.
