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.

I've pitched it unsuccessfully to editors and publishers, but I'm thinking of self publishing it possibly latet this year or early next year.

Ink and watercolour doodle. I've really fallen in Ink and watercolour doodle.
I've really fallen in love with this medium.
I struggled with my colour palette using watercolour for a very long time. It was a slow and somewhat frustrating experience, but I finally feel like my style has found a place within the medium.
