I started making a 'stop frame' videos a few years ago. It's interesting to review your own process of working and there is an expectation now for moving as well as still reference to your work!
Much of my work is a 'means to an end' so I wanted to include videos from the people I make the images for.
Some of these are my own efforts and a few from clients featuring my work in one form or another. Credits for these go to my excellent commissioners in their respective professions.
Most of these contain sound so please be aware before you click the play button!

I've painted non architecural subjects for many years. It gives me freedom to experiment with different media, outside the remit of anyones expectations! Exploring new ways of working and building new methods that have sometimes been incorperated into commercial projects.
