He started out as a VFX artist, working on music videos for artists including Hot Chip, The xx and Kylie Minogue, alongside television for the BBC and Channel 4.

He later spent seven years directing at BlinkInk, making commercials and music videos using everything from live action and 2D animation to CG, stop motion and puppetry. His commercial work has included campaigns for IKEA, McDonald’s, Skittles, the National Lottery, Subway and Mentos.

More recently, Chris worked as Creative Lead at Perspective Pictures, developing ideas and overseeing projects from their earliest stages through production and post. Elsewhere, his work has taken him into creative direction, writers’ rooms and script development, as well as developing a show with Cartoon Network and directing a pilot for Channel 4.

His work tends to sit somewhere between the handmade and the technical, with a fondness for mixing techniques to tell visual jokes and build strange worlds. 

​Alongside directing and creative development, he continues to work across animation and VFX, both as an artist and VFX supervisor, and occasionally gives talks and workshops about the things he’s picked up along the way.
