This is part of a recent promotional re-think I have been experimenting with for Aether. The brief is
to create a series of enticing 15-30 second videos to be shared as instagram stories encouraging
peole to order the re print of issue 12. These will not only be broadcast to Aethers own followers
but also, as sponsored posts, will be seen by users who don’t follow and may not be aware of the
magazine. For this reason the videos needed to be fun, bright and immediately attractive to
people who may otherwise swipe past them.
For this story specifically I had endeavoured to do this by using my own footage from a recent
shoot that is colourful and intriguing and layered a colour matte, trim paths and animated
glitch type.

This video is a promo designed to get people
interested in the Aether Issue 13 launch party.
As with all Aether work I put together
sequences in 1080x1920, 1920x1080 and 1:1
- for each of the socials. Displayed here is the
instagram story as it is the one I believe was
most successful. It is a funky, layered
composition with lots of fun type and a bit
of mark making thrown in. I was especially
pleased when I found a royalty free song
created my Jean Michele Basquiat to design it
around - Aethers editor is a big fan.

This was an edit for for RTF that required some
creative problem solving. The high quality
footage was poor becasue the camera man
had struggled to find a good position in the
crowd but the producer who was also on the
scene had managed to get some very striking
footage on her iPhone. This meant I had to
come up with a way to edit together these two
drastically different kinds of clips and try to
make a cohesive and fluid promo for Doja Cat.
At first I tried painstakingly to get the clips to
appear similar through colour correction,
stabilizers noise etc. In the end however I
decided rather than try to make the clips seem
similar I should push them even further apart.
The result is a bold and challenging video
which I believe is well suited to the artist. I also
had to use effects and transitions to break up
some of the higher quality footage. While its
quality was higher than that of the iphone it
had been unable to capture much light. After
brightening them as much as I dared I broke
them apart with choppy music video effects,
this also was well suited to the style of
the artist.

I was asked to design a logo for walking

meditation group Mind Walks. They were a
relatively new company looking into branding
for the first time. Because of this the work I
produced for them is extremely varied, starting
off quite slick looking as in this video. The brief
was to create a fresh and simple design, with
a “social media type look” that was also fluid
and organic in nature. While I believe this was
accomplished, I dont think it worked for the
brand, we soon moved on to
greener pastures.

Initial logo design and animation for Mind Walks

With the company shifting its focus to
instagram I redesigned some branding options.
They still contained the simple modern look the
client desired but focused much more heavily
on nature, this I believe was better suited to the
brand.

Revised logo design and animation for Mind Walks

I was asked several times to come back and
animate the Mind Walks “Word of the Week”
