biography

biog
A graduate of the Royal College of Art and a thoroughly nice chap, Tony is an animation director with a passion for education. His film ‘Abigail’ was awarded a special distinction from the Annecy Animation festival, and has since drawn the attention of many interesting people including Saatchi and Saatchi, Creative Review and Radiohead. He collaborates frequently with fellow animator and BAFTA nominee Ian Gouldstone. A pairing that French newspaper Libération described as “the gangsters of animation”.

In 2006 he was selected for the NESTA Creative Pioneer programme in which he developed a business plan around the desire to use animation to improve Citizenship teaching in British schools.

He is currently the character designer and lead animator on BBC Jam’s French education cartoon for 7-11 year olds.
ambitions
Right now my ambition is split between writing and directing a feature and designing a successful computer game.
project in development
I'm writing a short animated film that uses the aesthetics of minimalist theatre (enticing!).
influences, inspirations and favourite films
Right now I'm inspired a lot by video games. I think we're seeing a lot more variety of content and style, which reflects the greater variety in the market. (Yes I am a Nintendo fan-boy).
