Hello!
Thanks for visiting my website.
Cheers! Kate


Animation Direction:

I've worked both as a one woman studio and as a one woman studio + freelancers.

I've designed, directed, storyboarded and animated many sketches for the BBC.
These have featured on five series of Dead Ringers (including a Xmas special)
and Gina's Laughing Gear (a pilot kids' version of Dead Ringers.)

I've also designed, directed, storyboarded and animated sketches (featured on the BBC Comedy website),
for the likes of Mitchell & Webb, Ian Hislop and Nick Newman.


Live Action Direction

 My live action/animated documentary short (funded by Film London) is in the
55th BFI  London Film Festival, (London Calling programme NFT1).
Recently it won 2nd prize in the Best of Borough Awards and received this special jury mention:

"A strong and original story with an engaging and charismatic central character,
told with good humour and affection towards its subject.

 The filmmaking style evolves gradually throughout with creative endeavour,
climaxing in a highly memorable and innovative tracking shot,
which very much lifted the piece into a cinematic realm."

Jury:

 BAFTA-winning producer Stephen Woolley
 Film critic Fionnuala Halligan
 Chris Collins from the BFI's Film Fund
 Producer and LFS graduate Olivier Kaempfer

 


I've also just finished directing/editing a taster-tape for a comedy series written by and starring Abigail Burdess and Cicely Giddings.

Animation

My work has featured on Cartoon Network, (I animated on all three series of Skatoony), Boomerang, CBBC, CBeebies, Ch4, BBC1, BBC2, BBC Bitsize, BBC Webwise and BBC Online Comedy. I've also worked as an animator on several projects for The Brothers McLeod.



 Design

Previous satisfied customers include BBC1, BBC2, Peafur Productions, Silverfox Films, CITV, Glasshead, Ch4, CBBC and CBeebies (recently I created all the characters and many of the backgrounds including the stage/'bugmobile') for the online hit "The Lingo Show".

 

I do a lot of character designing and particularly enjoy drawing caricatures. These have appeared on five series of "Dead Ringers", (including a Xmas special), Gina's Laughing Gear, That Mitchell and Webb Look, (red button content) and
David Renwick's comedy drama, Love Soup.

I'm also available for hire as an illustrator.
Clients include BBC Comedy ( Steve & Jenny's baby diaries)
and Alan Gilbey's new comedy History guide, "The Back passages of Spitalfields".




If you don't see exactly what you're after here please do still get in touch.
There's a good chance that I can do what you're after or if I can't - I'll know someone who can.


Storyboard

As well as storyboarding all the stuff which I have directed, I've also storyboarded an animated sequence, (which I designed and animated), featured on Love Soup and several animated sequences, (which I designed and animated), for an episode of Horizon.

Recently I storyboarded and animated three public info-style films
starring Maggie Philbin for BBC Webwise.
