On a weekly basis my colleagues and I are tasked with all types of animation and compositing challenges over a very quick turnaround. The experience of working along side such a talented group is exhilarating and inspiring. It's a super fun gig to say the least.

The first season is so fantastic that it's contract has been renewed for a second! A huge thanks to all my talented friends there. Special props to fellow motion designers Dwayne Sealy and Hugo Marmuchi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58974650e6f2e12da000ebf6/1532031497151-K9ZNWW78Y4IQ7IDVAW5K/AliSidiq_ItsBiggerThanTheseBars_Thumb.jpg Work - Ali Siddiq "It's Bigger Than These Bars" Ali Siddiq is so so funny. This Comedy Central special was directed by the very talented Chioke Nassor. He’s a multi-talented writer/producer/directing genius, so I was super happy to be asked to lend a hand with the piece’s graphics package.

Odd writing, mis-direction given on set and the marriage of these disparate performances give life to a new form of comedy altogether. I was honored to be involved in 6 episodes of the first televised series of which there are sure to be many more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58974650e6f2e12da000ebf6/1532018013587-9XH2D6YNSGPIP7MUKF10/image-asset.jpeg Work - SNL Lucasfilms Look-Alike Shortly after Rogue One hit theaters, Felicity Jones hosted SNL - for which this short animation was created as part of the episode promo. See! It kinda matches the Lucasfilm one.

If you like recording and tweaking audio while your workstation bleeds rainbow fumes, Izotope Neutron is for you. It's amazing tech and sharp looking piece.

This piece is a call for volunteers to join their heroic ranks and be amazing.

The humor of these pieces is an interesting study in Britishisms and their nuanced contrasts across the pond.

Please enjoy.

This one showcases all black or all white edition of their classic Chuck Taylor. The looping version is pretty hypnotic. When I snap my fingers you will go out and buy monochromatic sneakers. Elliemade: Design & Animation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58974650e6f2e12da000ebf6/1501004158758-4V8034I1BNVHW65JR10U/image-asset.jpeg Work - Adidas "Nike" The fine fellows over at Neighborhood Watch created this heavenly feat of compositing with a little help from yours truly. It's such a pleasure to polish good looking comps. A little logo animation, atmosphere, magic sparkle, color and glow go a long way.

So here you have it. The track is "Laramie." It's mind-meltingly hypnotic while simultaneously energetic - and the video's not bad either, if I do say so. Elliemade: Production, Direction, Design & Animation Artist: Cymbals Eat Guitars Track Title: "Laramie" cymbalseatguitars.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58974650e6f2e12da000ebf6/1531605816292-58WD35H8VUNLRQ08PPGE/image-asset.jpeg Work - NHL Power Players The brilliant writer / director / producer, Mr. Brett Karley, recently approached me with an idea. To celebrate "Canada," a new book of history and memoir from the one and only Mike Myers, we created this animated short based on an excerpt in which he tells a story from his youth and his passionate quest for NHL Power Player collectables. The piece was commissioned by the Canadian Association of New York as part of their Maple Leaf Ball presentation for which Mr Myers was the honoree. Pretty neat, eh?

We whipped up this animated music video for the self titled debut of the extraordinarily talented Solvey. The look of the piece is a nod toward the legacy of hand-drawn, rotoscoped and mixed media approach.

They're Zambri. And I was thrilled to create this video for "Hundred Hearts" - a particulary mesmerizing track from their record, "House Of Baasa" via Kanine Records.

Many thanks for loads of help from the HFE guys and the very talented Mr Brett Karley of 99 Tigers.

My colleague, director Brett Karley, and I were asked to help bring the sharable visual component of these events to fruition. This episode featuring the talents of Kate Davis is one of my favorites.

He asked me to join in the fun and together we spent a weekend steeped in camp nostalgia while we attempted to capture the magic of this special place.

The results somehow perfectly occupy the space between tender reflection and body horror.
