Some of the per­son­al ani­ma­tion projects I have worked on. You can see more on my Youtube chan­nel.

All char­ac­ters voiced and ani­mat­ed by me, unless oth­er­wise stated.

Best Bud Blues
My ani­mat­ed short film inspired by our lit­tle Minia­ture Pin­sch­er, Jeff.

I wrote the lyrics, ani­mat­ed and designed the film, and the music was com­posed and per­formed by Jon­ny Blun­dell at Root­spring Stu­dios. (www.facebook.com/rootspringmusic)

The back­grounds are based on the land­scapes of the Over­berg, and Helder­berg areas of the West­ern Cape.

 

The Kung Fu Student
A lit­tle piece of ani­ma­tion I made recently.
I used the Scouse sheep char­ac­ter in a pre­vi­ous video as well. There’s a naive inno­cence about him that I quite like.
The croc­o­dile’s voice start­ed out as an impres­sion of Japan­ese Amer­i­can actor, Mako Iwa­mat­su, but it kind of mutat­ed into its own thing.
The crick­et and frog sounds were record­ed at La Res­i­dence in Fran­schhoek, West­ern Cape, South Africa.

 

Betrayed!
An aris­to­crat­ic ani­mat­ed roost­er reacts to a betrayal.
I often come up with these weird voic­es and char­ac­ters, and cre­ate lit­tle sit­u­a­tions, so I thought it would be nice to start ani­mat­ing again, and incor­po­rate some of the dialogue.
This is a short bit from a longer sequence that I have in mind.

 

The Bridge Troll
Anoth­er exper­i­ment in lim­it­ed ani­ma­tion for me.
I came up with the Bridge Troll after mak­ing up dia­logue while doing an impres­sion of Bil­ly Con­nol­ly. I have been want­i­ng to ani­mate the lit­tle Scouse lamb for ages, and I decid­ed this would be a good first test for the lamb as an ani­mat­ed character.
All ani­ma­tion and voic­es by me.

 

Whoopi Gold­berg
My ani­mated impres­sion of Whoopi Goldberg.
Whoopi is one of the few female impres­sions I do and I thought it would make a fun­ny ani­mated short.
I’m basi­cally prac­tic­ing my lim­ited ani­ma­tion with these short videos.

 

Frogney Dan­ger­field
I was doing some draw­ings of actors and come­di­ans as ani­mals, and I drew a very Rod­ney Dan­ger­field-like frog. I then start­ed com­ing up with stuff “Frogney Dan­ger­field” would say in his act.

 

John­ny Vegas
A short ani­ma­tion I made based on my impres­sion of John­ny Vegas.
I’m a big fan of Mr Vegas, and I always find him at his fun­ni­est when hes berat­ing the crowd.

Blind Willie claims to have written it, but he actually stole it from Blind Blake.

Gouache doodlin' on a Sunday between other work. J Gouache doodlin' on a Sunday between other work. Just had to do some pointless playing.
No underdrawing. Just straight in with the paintbrush.
