I directed, designed and animated the opening and closing sections of the recently released 'A Liar's Autobiography'. This stereoscopic 3D feature film is based on the life of Monty Python's Graham Chapman. I designed and built the set as I would have created a stop motion set. I then screen grabbed the Python's faces from the Oscar Wilde sketch in the original Flying Circus series and created the character puppets in Photoshop. The material was then animated and composited in After Effects.I directed, designed and animated the opening and closing sections of the recently released 'A Liar's Autobiography'.

This print was the result of an in-house brief set to Not To Scale Director's, to create an image simply; not to scale. So, what could be more appropriate than one of my puppet's building a scale Airfix model of the Not To Scale offices at 13 Mannette Street? You may recognise the puppet from a previous incarnation. Shot as a digital still and artworked in Photoshop. The print was auctioned for charity.Character Design, Digital Art, Sculpting2012 -
