BT Sport Boxing: Fury v Whyte
The Dillian Whyte Story

Ahead of the biggest British boxing fight of the last 20 years, and with no footage, or talent access, we had to come up with a way to promote Dillian Whyte.
We had three weeks to concept and create an animated piece that did justice to his remarkable story and to balance the coverage of both fighters.
Our solution was to use a dynamic voice over from Daniel Kaluuya, accompied by archive photography, collage and hand drawn animation, to create an engaging piece of content.

BT Sport Boxing: Fury v Chisora
State of Play in the Heavyweight Division

Ahead of Tyson Fury’s title defence against Derek Chisora, we were tasked with finding a way to show the twists and turns of the last six months and future match ups within the Heavyweight Boxing division.
With limitations on footage, and noticing how the fighters carefully manouvred within negotiations like chess pieces, we devised a tabletop style game, set in an arena, depicting the fighters as pieces on a moving board, all striving to get to the centre.
My role in the piece was concepting how the tabletop game would look and behave, designing the setting and arena, then animating the pieces, working with the director to move the camera throughout, rendering and compositing.

Little Darlings Film & TV Mini-Series

I designed and animated the title sequence and animated scenes within the mini-series, Little Darlings, for Sky Kids, working with Kindle Entertainment. 
Telling the story of two sisters living very different lives in London and Birmingham, I created two colour schemes based on the set dressing of their homes and their personalities. The patterns used throughout are based on fabrics from Nigeria and Ghana, as a nod to the character’s heritage.
The visual style is meant to feel playful without being childish, and act as an extension of their imaginations.
The series is available as both a 4 part mini-series and a feature film.
