I worked on this music video as Animation assistant to Chris Cunningham. I worked on the morphing animations from one body shape to another, this was done in Adobe After Effects with the Revision Reshape filter.

I am an animator, motion graphics and visual effects desinger, working mainly in television, film and music videos. I am aslo an author and have two books published. My latest book, "Creative After Effects 7 - Workflow Techniques for Animation, Visual Effects and Motion Graphics", is aimed at teaching creative people how to understand and use Adobe After Effects software.
I tour regularly with Adobe to conferences, trade shows and other events, giving seminars and showing my work.
I'm an old punk at heart, have never looked back since 1977 when my best friend played me her 12 inch single of "Oh bondage Up Yours" by X-ray Spex.
