Animator/Director. Poignant toilet humour and slapstick with gravitas. I also run an animation night called @overlapsocial.com

A satisfying loop I found of me hosting at the last @overlapsocial.com. I feel very conscious of how self indulgent this can seem, but if it helps cheerlead the animation industry I can fool myself that it's not about ego stroking.

Here's the VFX breakdown. The still clouds were created by drawing several layers in the shapes that I needed. Photoshop's generative tool turned those into photorealistic looking clouds. They were animated using stuff like blur, warp and turbulent displacements. louishudson.co.uk/portfolio/bb...

About a year ago, I animated some scenes for Funboys.

In the end I handled most of the elements. I storyboarded it to help technical supervise filming. I did the designs, animation,FX and compositing, which wouldn't;t be ideal on a larger project, but for this it simplified marrying the elements.

While everyone's off fannying about in Annecy, I'm at the coal face of animation.

Another little thing I did this year for BRB. Transforming Cinderella between two costumes. I've done this before with magical razzle dazzle to hide the joins. I miss the razzle dazzle, but it works.

As usual it was a quick turnaround, so I opted to roto manipulated stock footage of a skier. Some simple but satisfying parallax in the background finished off with some snow dust in Photoshop.

Did a nice little job this year for Montblanc's Christmas advert. I created this moving vintage poster that connected the flow of the adjoining shots. Luxury pens one and all!
