A commission to produce illustrations for Irn Bru social posts through the Leith Agency. The illustrations appeared on all social platforms - Facebook, Instagram & Twitter.

I created this colourful, high energy, sassy animated film for The Honey Farm - a Scottish rap trio who are on the up and up.

It was an opportunity for me to animate a finer style of illustrated assets, a style which works well with the ethos of the band and fun, adult content.

Animation assembled for Guy & Co for their client Royal London.

I created this film for Single Eye Hypnosis to promote their services in helping people combat addiction.

I was commissioned to produce three music videos for the talented Amy Duncan. The most recent Hidden World was timed for the album launch.

We worked closely throughout the creative process, using Amy’s photography both as a starting point and as motifs throughout. This helped ensure these collaged dreamscapes remained personal and integral to the soundscapes.

I was commissioned by The School of Life to design & produce a short animated film explaining Emotional Intelligence.

Handed the script and VO and left to my own devices I decided to make emotional intelligence into a superhero character.

The film is featured on the School of Life's YouTube channel.

I was one of a number of artists commissioned to produce a short film for the Royal Hospital for Sick Children & Department of Clinical Neurosciences’ film library.

The film library offers clinicians the facility to show film content within treatment rooms to help provide distraction for patients during clinical procedures. The three channels available offering content designed to relax, engage or focus.

Fascinated by the world underwater it was a pleasure to create this animated underwater journey, which explores the calming effects that can be achieved using 2d line illustrations and limited palette.

TVC for Henry Westons Cider - Henry's Harvest (20s & 10s)

Co-directed and Animated by Florian Viale, Tracy Foster and Victoria Watson.
Produced by Victoria Watson for The Gate Films.

Created by McCann Bristol, the commercial uses a blend of different animation techniques, to reflect the craft that goes into making this tasty cider.

I produced some of the visual elements, which were mapped to the Tron Kirk, as part of The Drambuie campaign 'A Taste of the Extraordinary'.  These visuals brought the Tron to life, at a special Hogmanay party in 2012.

The visuals were designed, directed and produced by Andy McGregor of Andy McGregor Design + Media.

My visual input was subsequently selected for screening at an internal event at The Drambuie HQ in Russia.

'This Hogmanay, Drambuie is bringing the celebration back to its original venue as it throws open the doors of the historic Tron Kirk on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. The Scottish spirit will host A Festival of the Extraordinary – from the night before the night before to the morning after – to celebrate the first re-opening of the original home of Hogmanay in Edinburgh in 20 years.

By day, The Drambuie Surreal Sessions will include an extraordinary program of events including breathtaking digital art, extraordinary film screenings, mixology masterclasses and unexpected live performances.'

The International Green Awards is the leading platform for sustainability intelligence, leadership and innovation.

In 2011 I was commissioned to design the awards presentation which was shown on a huge screen in the atrium of the Natural History Museum London. I have yet to meet anyone who enjoys using PowerPoint - but I think this clean and quietly stylish design demonstrates the clunky beast can be mastered to good effect!

The sting, which must have appeared over 50 times during the ceremony was fun to create, and the green pylons went down very well indeed.
