…stomping across the countryside.


A bonus still from Twin Galaxies, used to promote the recent Shapeshifter tour.



…learning something new.


A recent TVC for Thien Long. Via Cirkus.



…looking over the hills for monsters. again.


An idea I’ve been waiting ten years to have an excuse to create – seeing a giant stomping it’s way around the New Zealand landscape.

The music video for ‘Twin Galaxies’, from Shapeshifter’s 2010 album ‘The System is a Vampire’.

There’s plenty of possible interpretations for this video, I’ve got my own, but I’ll let people make of it what they will. In the end, it’s simply a personal story on a massive scale.



…exhilarated.


30 second TVC for Comfort’s new Exhilarations product. Via Cirkus.



…standing in silence.


From Rhian Sheehan‘s fantastic 2009 album, ‘Standing in Silence’. Title of the track is ‘Part 3 (Niva’s Tune)’.



…learning something new.


Educational video produced to create awareness about the OECD’s world-wide mission. Via Resn.



…blushing.


Aaaaaahhhhh… Sometimes it’s actually fun to be blatantly soppy. This animation was commissioned by The Blush Response as a show-opener, to ease the audience into their brand of over-the-top synth-tronica. Venus, Mars, and In-btween.

Yes, that’s the way we spell it.



…lusting for blood.


Animated for the Videoblood DVD curated by Liam Bachler. The challenge was to make a 90-second animation – and as it turned out I only had about a week to do it. Still, the outcome was this fun little sexy number.

Music is ‘Mangapower’ by Module.



…living underground.


Welcome to the Underground. The environment for my background project ‘Nuut’ – this is a concept scene of a typical neighbourhood. Apartments, a cafe/venue, and a bottomless pit. Like an early 20th century Paris, where everything is made of metal and the sun never shines.

The Taffeta, a popular bar housed inside a strange, hanging structure. This is a matte painting used in a proof-of-concept animation for the project.
