British Animation Awards 2012 nominations
Hello, happy new year!
I've been sucked into yet more work- I've just done 3 more tempo animatics in an epic 3 weeks over christmas with another one to go, but i just had to say:
"bike" is nominated for the Best 2d Commercial British Animation Award!
I heard it was on the shortlist last week, but yesterday got a call saying it's made it through to the final 3.
It will also be screened in the Public Choice awards around the country, and I think it may be nominated in the "best script" category also.
I'm unbelievably humbled and amazed.

Tempo Bike
All year I've been secretly working on directing my first commercial, and I'm finally allowed to talk about it as it's aired!
It's for Tempo tissues - a mix of stop motion tissues and hand inked animation and has been an amazing, fun, emotional, tiring process.
