WatchGaberdine - Music Video
Artist: Walls
Created entirely in After Effects, the video uses simple geometric shapes to build up vibrant patterns that pulse and distort to the track.

WatchSpare Parts - EA Logo

JimJam Graphics were commissioned to work on many videos for the upcoming online, sci-fi romp, Spare Parts. A lot of the work was for in-game cutscenes and therefore not allowed to be shared here, but this is the branded logo ident I created for the Spare Parts franchise. ea.com/uk/game/spare-parts

WatchSumo Digital - Logo Sting

Watch344s - Music Video
344s is a track off the beautiful Cadre Turf album by Regolith. I was really drawn in by the overall atmosphere of the track and found that there were lots of beautiful textures and nuances that became more apparent after repeat listening. Playing with texture and depth, I wanted to have a somewhat experimental approach to making the video. I used a technique where I could...
WatchKeep Your Teeth Sharp - Music Video
With the song’s lyrics and driving, march-like beat, I felt the song resonated a feeling of defiance and possible anti-establishment. There were also many quirks in the music that I felt had a contrasting fun edge to them. After a few listens I started to develop an idea of a marching army of unloved toys. A march set against an abstract background...

Visual concepts developed as a response to repeat listening. I was then inspired...

WatchWith Sass - Sizzle Video
This is part of a sizzle video I did for the design company Sass withsass.com/ I wanted to create a piece that brought to life the copy I had been given.

WatchSheffield Bleep - Logo Sting
Expanding on the simple 2 colour scheme of the logo, my approach was to unravel abstract elements before the final reveal. I wanted to create a slightly glitchy electronic feel to the work to help tie it in and brand it with Sheffield Bleep.
