James is a practicing animator residing in Manchester since 2005. During this time James has worked on short films and has created moving visuals for live events. James’ practice as an animator has most recently entailed initiating large-scale cross disciplinary collaborations, enabling him to produce work with other creatives, including writers, actors and musicians. By mixing together analogue stop-motion methods with digital video James creates his engaging, technical animations.
Embracing new technology with his thorough understanding of animation process allows James to create his own visual language. Although his work can, at times, border on the esoteric, his latest pieces follow a narrative lead path, thus presenting themselves openly on all levels to a wide audience of all ages to absorb.
James’ animations have been distributed internationally in Japan as well as published online via Creative Review.
