Bio

Meet Craig.

 

What’s the definition of making it?

 

Making a living out of your biggest passion. And that’s exactly what I’ve been lucky enough to achieve.

 

I’ve got many hats – literally and figuratively – as an animation, content, and TVC director. This covers 2D / 3D / stop-motion animation, broadcast motion design, DOP, off and online editing, lead compositor, HOD of 3D, and being the Head of Agency Content Creation department, overseeing 9 talented creators while managing numerous freelance contractors.

 

I’ve even thrown my hat as an animation lecturer. But what really defines what I offer is the meticulous eye of a designer and hands-on approach of a draughtsman that I bring to every project I work on. Because of this, people have commended me as being one of the rare directors who can see a project through from the early conceptual stage to the finely polished finished product.

 

So if you’ve got a project coming up, let’s catch up. I’d love to make it with you.
