‘One Two’ is a comedy series that strips away the glamour of the music industry and exposes the gritty grind, the Sisyphean struggle and the glorious vanity of it all.
The series has been written and produced by Nat Jenkins. I’ve directed three of the six episodes, one set in London, one in Copenhagen and another in Amsterdam. They’ll be released over the next couple of months on LesInRocks and VICE Holland.
59 Productions’ Richard Slaney engaged me to create the animations for their collaboration with BBC Proms. The project involved projecting onto a moving cello whilst cellist Sol Gabetta played a bit from Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor. Here is a ‘raw’ clip from the animation I produced.
The final product can be seen here:

59 Productions engaged me to work as senior animator on Kim Brandstrup’s spellbinding and nerve-jangling ballet based on the poetry of Søren Ulrik Thomsen. The ballet ran in May and June 2016 at Copenhagen’s Skuespillehuset.
The projections were principally about creating a shifting and uncertain sense of place using light and shadows. I built an array of interiors and exteriors that were then projected onto the beautifully stark set. Here is one example of the interiors.

Lysander Ashton at 59 Productions engaged me to produce animations for ‘Impossible’, a magic show that guides the viewer through centuries of tricks.
The show is touring the UK and elsewhere through 2016.

At 59 Production’s behest, I created some of the audiovisual content for the original exhibition back in 2012, notably the three videos in the exhibition’s final room, for ‘Jean Genie’, ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide’ and ‘Sweet Thing’. The exhibition has since toured to the AGO in Toronto, MIS in Sao Paolo, the Martin Gropius Bau Berlin, the MCA Chicago, the Philharmonie de Paris, and the ACMI Melbourne. The exhibition in Groningen runs through the April 2016, then on to Bologna, Barcelona and New York.
At each venue, the final room is redesigned, as are the videos. The video above is a mock-up of the four giant screens in the space, to give a sense of the immersive nature of the experience.

59 Productions’ Lysander Ashton engaged me as co-Animation Director, with Zsolt Baloch, to produce animations for The National Theatre’s ‘Wonder.land’. It’s a sumptuous production, created with the combined talents of Damon Albarn (music), Moira Buffini (script) and Rufus Norris (direction).
The video above of the computer game sequence is currently without Damon Albarn’s music due to the fiddly world of permissions. Below are three of the backdrops used for the action in ‘Wonder.land’.
It first opened as part of the Manchester Festival in July 2015 and moved to the National Theatre in London in November. It runs through to April 2016.
