Adventures in Chaos

People sometimes ask me where I get my weird ideas from, so in this talk I will attempt to trace the evolution of one of my ideas and chart its journey through the mess both inside and outside of my head.  Hopefully along the way I will give you some kind of insight into how I use After Effects to make my animations, if my laptop doesn't die in the process.  I will also be bringing some weird videos along to play occasionally when I get bored listening to the sound of my own voice.

Biography

I've been working as a freelance animator for about 6 years now, creating surreal and nightmarish visions for TV titles, music videos and advertising campaigns.  However, I am mostly known for the weird stuff I make between jobs, for my own amusement.  I currently live somewhere in the Hampshire countryside where I work from home, animating with Adobe After Effects and fighting off a never-ending army of spiders.
