Enjoy some favourite scenes from cartoons that I’ve directed.
Ting and Juma in Zapped
Animated shorts are so fun to make. A simple idea told clearly and entertainingly all leading to a twist. I was lucky to get play with Rainmaker’s Ting and Juma mascots and create this punchy little story.
Beat Bugs
This animated series on Netflix was created to introduce young children to the magic of the Beatles music. It was a delight and a privilege to pull from one of the richest creative treasure troves of all time and be inspired by their genius everyday at work.
Barbie in Princess Power
Another keyframe Barbie movie, this one with a completely redesigned Barbie and Barbie world. Working in the animated super-hero genre again was a blast. Lots of snappy animation, soaring camera moves and comedic action. Thanks to my incredibly creative and hard-working team at Rainmaker. This one was ambitious to say the least and the crew delivered a movie better than I could have ever anticipated.
Barbie The Pearl Princess
Mermaids and best of all for me, back to keyframe animation! I forgot how much I missed the exaggerated performance and fun you get from a talented group of animators. It had been a while since I hadn't used mocap on a movie. Plus this is all underwater, so we got to experiment with really cool camera moves and action that takes place in all directions. Our characters and cameras were all essentially in zero-g. Really rewarding stuff.
