Simon Whiteley - there is a reason why I created the matrix code like it is and it's not just sushi. The little bird with bow on bike follows the white rabbit's foxfire moon and stars, as the tears of rain create the forest of green - the Eirys Coeden guardians of the Mimlacode (the creatures code) humans and beast must work together if we are to save this rainbow coloured planet we call home.
I was born 26th July 1962 in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, United Kingdom. My childhood was spent barefoot and free between Hastings and Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK and Khartoum, Sudan, Africa.
Production Designer, Art Director, Visual Effects Supervisor, Writer and Screen Writer. I completed my BA (Hons) in Design and Visual Communication in Birmingham, UK then began my career at the BBC Pebble Mill, Birmingham before moving to BBC Shepherds Bush, London with the introduction of Quantel's Paintbox in 1985. In 1986 I joined BPCC Video Graphics pioneering Quantel's XL Graphic Paintbox (the forerunner to Photoshop) Then freelanced for the newly emerging Frame Store before heading to Sydney, Australia in 1987 to work for The Video Paint Brush Company. Precursor to Animal Logic which I joined in 1991 working on commercials then movies for over thirty years. Most of which have had some environmental grounding, maybe that's why it is called Animal Logic. The Babe movies, Happy Feet, the Guardians of Ga'Hoole Owl movie, the Peter Rabbit movies, even The Lego movies and The Matrix movies are trying to get humans to open their eyes work together. All First Nation stories weave us into our environment we should be part of it. There is more to this world if we just slow down, wait and listen.
I now spends my days with the fox, the hedgehog, the little bird and their friends at the mimlafoundation, bringing a little hope to this wonderful world we call home. The Keymaker is active and has the rainbow scabbard - the Eirys Coeden in all of us. From its light into darkness we are born.
