The Co-operative Revolution

The Co-operative Revolution is a graphic novel – published by the Co-operative – to celebrate the history of the Co-operative movement that began in east Lancashire in 1844.

In collaboration with Rapp UK, and Illustrator Polyp, my role on this project was to produce a digital version of the novel, to be featured on the Co-operative website.

Business Gateway Pre-roll

This non-interactive advertising piece was produced for Business Gateway in December 2012 and featured as a pre-roll commercial on 4od and other video on demand platforms.

Working with creative agency Whitespace, illustrator Johanna Basford, and photographer Jakub Iwanicki, my role was to ‘stitch’ together the time-lapsed footage and create the animated elements of the piece.

“Heavy Petal Band”

WTF is this madness?

This is a piece I created for an Edinburgh art event in September 2011.

I used the opportunity to experiment with animation (in particular stop-motion and time-lapse), video editing, and projection mapping.

Projection Mapping – that’s always done on buildings right?

Buildings are commonly used in projection mapping, but the technique can be applied to any objects or spaces.

My set-up was quite simple, projecting onto a wall of frames, with a row of books underneath.

Did you create the images yourself?

All the imagery you see in the pieces was created from my own photography – about 300 photographs per piece.

The photos were taken and then stitched together to create the animated objects. These objects were then manipulated digitally, to be synced with the audio track.

Was there any programming involved?

There was no programming needed for the main part of the piece, but the light projected onto the books below the frames is live sound spectrum data from the audio track.

This data was processed and turned into a visualisation using Flash.
