This year, I have been focusing on my model making business, 'Home In Miniature’, creating models of houses from photographs that commissioners send me. Earlier in the year, ’Home In Miniature’ was featured in ‘Country Life’, ‘The Times’ and ‘Chichester Observer’. Extracts of these articles and examples of my work can be seen on my sister-website: www.homeinminiature.com
During July/September, I was also commissioned to animate ‘The Gentleman’, a music video for the singer Hannah Rose-Platt, to be released in early 2022, which I thoroughly enjoyed working on. I created the film using sand animation, a stop motion technique which involves the manipulation of sand over a light-box. I made the light-box using an LED office ceiling light, which I housed inside a box constructed from old wooden fence posts. To reduce the glaring intensity of the light, I overlayed the ceiling light with a sheet of transparent polycarbonate (cheaper than acrylic/perspex sheeting), over which I had applied a layer of matt white self-adhesive vinyl (of the kind used to cover kitchen cabinets).
As ‘The Gentleman’ has not yet been released, I am not able to show any material from the film. However, after its release, I will upload a time lapse video showing how animated it.
