Andrew in Drag
New Magnetic Fields single. Seeing them in April at the Royal Festival Hall. Woot!Here’s what @kevindart says about this project I produced for him and Stephane Coedel through Passion last year. It’s finally gone live, and I’m really excited about showing it!
A YEAR OF SUN WITH MR. PERSOL
This is a new commercial that I directed along with Stéphane Coëdel for Persol Sunglasses! Here are some of the amazing people who helped us! (full credits on the vimeo page)Jeremy Pires // Animator
Nelson Boles // Animator
Celine Desrumaux // Compositor
Chris Turnham // Background Painter
Dave Newby // Music & SoundI also want to give a huge thanks to Passion Pictures and our producers Ryan Goodwin-Smith and Jen Coatsworth, and also the people at Winkreative for the giving us the chance! Also to Elizabeth Ito and Chris Mitchell for kindly lending their storyboarding expertise! Can’t wait to work on another project like this :)
We’ve come a long way since The Reluctant Dragon. Here’s how Disney’s Phineas and Ferb is made. Except for the rap music, it’s a pretty accurate account.

MUTTJo Radcliffe directed this.
I produced it.
Rob Ward did the After Effects.
Suzanne Deakin did the sassy chica.
… nothing can do more to normalize the face of transgender America than the sight of a 7-year-old (boy or girl?) with pink cheeks and a red balloon puppy in hand saying to Brandon, as one did at the conference:
‘Are you transgender?’
‘What’s that?’ Brandon asked.
‘A boy who wants to be a girl.’
‘Yeah. Can I see your balloon?’There used to be a certain romanticism about being a tramp. Walking the highways and byways with a red spotted handkerchief knotted on a stick. Battered hat worn at a jaunty angle. The occasional mild con, but nothing terrible. Since Gordon Brown was in power it’s all become a bit sordid, why on my way to work I was even accosted by what can only be called a beggar. ‘come come’, I said, ‘this is England, not some Egyptian souk. Have some pride, man’. He used a profanity.
Oh what had become of this green and lovely land? At least Cameron seems a decent enough cove, and will have us back to warm ales on village greens in no time.
But worse things were about to be found in the bedroom: on the jeweller’s wife’s ottoman, in a casual pose, sprawled a third party- namely, a black cat of uncanny size, with a glass of vodka in one paw and a fork, on which he had managed to spear a pickled mushroom, in the other.
