Digital animation test drawn frame by frame in Photoshop and edited in After Effects. This concept came from the constant exposure of recycled news and junk from media and social networks. Let's call it 'Media Vomit'.

Jambas Dodge is an Android and iOS game I worked on. It features this little dinosaur which I designed, modelled and animated, trying to avoid the bouncing balls. You can check out the game here for Android and here for iOS.

Below is a wedding animation I created, which was screened during the wedding reception. The script/plot was given to me roughly by the bride, and I simplified to this, otherwise it would have been one loooong reception.

A small animation gif taken out of a larger story sequence - it was for a wedding proposal.

Storyboards:

I have been storyboarding in Adobe Illustrator quite a lot the past year as a freelancer, but due to non-disclosure agreements I cannot post most of these. All I can say is that the style varies between RSA Animations and more graphic style like on my Freelance page. Some of the storyboards were for Tesco, Henkel, Peaceplayers, Skill Pill, BDO, ICMM and more.

The way the storyboards are done, since they are intended for animation in After Effects, firstly I sketch them up on draft paper and then I draw them up in Adobe Illustrator in vector form. This way the actual storyboard can be broken down into assets and those actual drawings can be used in After Effects for animation. For examples of these drawings head over to my Freelance page.
