Animation 2019
Artificial Supergrass
An animation to promote a company which provides artificial turf for a range of uses, in this case as a dirt free, family friendly and low maintenance back garden.
“Noir” Animation
Genre video created for a musician’s showreel. Backgrounds are 3D in Blender with handdrawn animation comped into the scenes.
Never did receive any audio for it…
A city, going backwards in time…
An animation produced where the client herself appears in a modern city and slowly goes back in time to see the changes through it’s long history.
My client didn’t want any audio on delivery so I’ve added some with the help of the following users from Freesound: tigersound, freqman, erh, edifield, juskiddink, maj061785, sorohanro, dj-chronos, stereostereo, beatsbycasper, klanbeeld, robinhood76, swiftoid, owl, johnnyfarmer, rsilverira-88, jarredgibb, dheming, kyster_, opticreep and speedygonzo.
Special thanks for the main score to Kevin MacLeod from incompetech.com – highly recommended for free music.
“Tinte Blut” Book trailer
An animation to promote the release of a new book – the brief was to create a moody, mysterious and sinister trailer for the launch across facebook and other social media of “Tinte Blut.”
Specific shot direction from the client but with loads of scope for visual development, this project was a mixture of 3D and 2D with hand-drawn textures.
Blender, Photoshop, Clip Studio, Premiere.
Client: Milan Grunewald.
Annual Report Animation
An animation for Luton Community Housing’s Annual report to show the good work they have done in their area and the range of organisations and shareholders they have worked with.
Storyboards and concepts.
A few hand-drawn characters with simple animation were needed for the production; a range to depict staff training, gardening and liaison with local police.
Health and Safety Animation
The second project for Luton Community Housing For this one, the brief was to design an animation for internal training to show new staff.
Character development and Preproduction.
Based on 2D characters featured in some of the organisations’ existing branding, the whole cast of characters from office workers to maintenance staff was modeled, textured and rigged in 3D. (Blender)
Rijksmuseum app animations.
Contracted by Manchester based Centrescreen Productions to produce a series of animations for a guided tour app for the reopening of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
Using items and high resolution scans of art work, including access to Rembrant sketches for one of his most famous works; Der Staalmeesters, this series of animations was created as part of an interactive tour guide app for visitors to the refurbished Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

“Noir” animation
“NOIR” Animation (waiting for audio) from Antmerker on Vimeo.
This is the first of three animations produced for musician Sam Biggs (www.sambiggs.co.uk) to showcase his musical talents. The project involves producing genre based animations, this one Noir (obviously).
Lots of fun; shadows, gangsters, femme fatales and brutal shootings.
Backgrounds for the animation are all modelled in 3D and the characters are all hand-drawn.
