Current Work Details

What I do

I work from my own studio in Bristol making short films (for myself) and commercials (for Aardman). I'm also a scriptwriter and have multiple credits on BAFTA-winning children's series Peppa Pig and Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom.
Company

Evil Genius Ltd
Website

Where I work

I run my own company or organisation
Technical Skills

I animate using ToonBoom and also create imagery using photoshop and I edit on old-school Premiere and sellotape.
Resources / Expertise

I have my own studio with several computers and several years experience directing commercials and making my own short films mean I don't need to call on a lot (or often any) resources outside my own studio. I hit deadlines, I can work with people, I can give orders and take them.
