THE MADNESS OF MUSK X LED BY DONKEY’S

This is a film that illustrates how Musk broke Twitter and helped elect Trump

I was the motion graphics designer, animator & editor on this project, working along side the great editor and DOP Fionn Guilfoyle.

Always a pleasure working with the Donkeys and here is a link to the video on there socials, where it has had over 10 million views so far.

It was great to be part of the team at The Centre for Climate Reporting, for this undercover project that exposed details of the highly-confidential second phase of Project 2025 being led by a Trump insider, Russel Vaught.

My role was working on Motion Graphic design and animation.

This is a film I made with Alex Yallop and the Greenpeace international team. To celebrating World Oceans Day with actress, model, and TV presenter @amandadupont, who recently met coastal communities in Senegal to support them in their fight for survival. 

RUNNYMEDE X DR SHOLA

This is a film I made with Greenpeace UK and and the Runnymede Trust. It explains how British colonialism created racism and the Climate Crisis in Nigeria. This film exposes the dirty truth about the British Empire and Shell.

WELCOME TO GOMA

This is a teaser for a film that I made about Goma Cycling Club, which is a cycling club based in the DRC Congo. It was made as part of the exhibition ‘Welcome to Goma’.

For information about screenings of the full film visit welcometogoma.org

MURDOCH BIOPIC X LED BY DONKEY’S

A Succession inspired Murdoch biopic that was projected on to the New York Sky line. With epic results and well over one million views on twitter alone.

I was the editor on this project, working with the Led By Donkeys team and the great DOP & Editor Fionn Guilfoyle.

FORENSIC ARCHITECTURE X GREENPEACE

This investigation by Forensic Architecture & Greenpeace International uncovers evidence which indicates that Korindo (a palm oil company) has intentionally used fires to clear forests to make room for palm oil plantations in Papua.

BORIS BIOPIC X LED BY DONKEY’S

This is biopic of Boris Johnson (just incase people forgot how bad he really was.) There is a part two to this which goes into his failings once in office as well.

The film had great success with over 11 million view on twitter alone. Here is a link to a similar biopic I made about Putin.

ANIMATOR

This was a film I worked on with the Led By Donkeys team and the great DOP & Editor Fionn Guilfoyle. I had quite a small role in this project, producing animation to illustrate some of the undercover work, bringing to life emails. documents and a fake website. A good example of this is at 2.50 - 3.42. But I produced small sections of animation through out the whole MPs FOR HIRE investigation, which consisted of six films in total.

Gustaf Skarsgård X IPCC Report

This is a film I made for Greenpeace Nordic, where Gustaf Skarsgård reacts to the latest IPCC report. The IPCC report is an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and it’s latest report doesn’t look good for the planet.

DISTANT SANDS X SHORT FILM

This is a film I made about the 2004 cockle picking disaster in Morecambe Bay. As I feel the disaster has a renewed poignancy with the increased awareness of modern day slavery and also with the way certain areas of the media and governments are treating the narrative of illegal and migrant workers.

COVID 19 X LED BY DONKEY’S

During the Covid-19 pandemic I have been working with Led By Donkey’s, creating a whole series videos dealing with the governments response to the pandemic, here in the UK as well as in the USA.

Here is a taster of some of these projects which have racked up millions of views. For the full films check out LED BY DONKEYS on twitter, facebook and instagram.

UPSTREAM X GREENPEACE

This documentary tells the story of Greenpeace’s ground breaking research project, discovering the extent of Micro-plastics pollution in UK rivers.

Here are some examples of how I have used motion graphics and animations to help bring stories to life when making documentary and investigation films. 

This is a link to a longer version, where you get to see a few selected animations in their entirety and how they fit into the films they were made for.
