Working with the fantastic Matthew Clark, I supplied the set motion graphics (and some post) for most of series 9, even including a little bit of interactive when called for. Not sure how wise popping up a load of BBC footage might be here so have a ruddy lovely old pile of stills instead…
I was commissioned by production company Grain Media to create a video for The Rules charity’s new campaign, Our Land, Our Business.
Also featured on the Guardian website here
Hosted at the Savoy Theatre in London, the 2015 International Opera Awards commissioned me to produce all video content for the event. This included an opening sequence to set the tone for the evening ahead.
A high speed journey through various operas, it was a hugely enjoyable project to research. On the evening the beginning section interacted with the surrounding set (designed by Tim Bird) but that sadly isn’t captured here.
I was approached by the charity ARK to make a short film explaining their vision for the future of Ugandan education and how their academy model can work in a developing nation.
The film was initially used for their major annual fundraising gala event and then adapted to be a stand-alone piece.
Titles and stings for the BBC2 comedy series The Ginge, The Geordie, and The Geek, made with Emily Davis.
Working with the Red Cross again I created a video to explain and highlight the work of their logistics department, GLS. Keeping with the Red Cross branding and simplifying a complex global organisation, a simple line and sphere motif was developed.

It was an honour to be commissioned to make the opening titles for the feature film The Last Sparks Of Sundown.
My work was completed in the summer of 2014, but I only got to see the film a year later. Filmed on a micro-budget, starring The Pajama Men, Miles Jupp and Emily Bevan, Empire magazine called it “A fast-paced country house farce with verve, invention and a good heart.”
Nothing beats seeing your work on the big screen but you’ll have to make do with Vimeo for now…
Online video made with Iris Worldwide. An action packed 35 seconds!
Fairtrade were after a video to promote their presence in the London Olympics and build on the success of the Take A Step campaign. With the Eye Of The Liger soundtrack and as many Olympic sports as we could squeeze into 60 seconds, it was for a period the most popular not-for-profit video on Youtube…!
Paul Taylor-Mills whom I’d worked previously with on Honk! approached me to supply some more theatre projection for his production of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. Although I had already done a production at the Brideswell Theatre previously I was keen to work with Paul again so set about creating a new approach for this version. The play contains several dream sequence monologues for the chief, which I was to provide animated visuals for.
Re-reading the book I decided to go for a shadow puppet aesthetic which links to Kesey’s original imagery and allowed us to play a game with the blind on the nurses’ station, especially by incorporating the window panes into the shadows. The critical response was genuinely overwhelming.
This show is full of intelligent touches, including Tom Munday’s projection used to great effect when Dwayne Washington’s Chief Bromden tells his story. The London Magazine
Tom Munday’s animations are ingenious, beautiful and alternately delightful and unsettling. They operate as chapters, providing an alternative world to the grinding realism of the main action. Chief Bromden, the mute Native American, is given a voice in these sections as narrator and philosopher. He speaks beautifully and the overall effect is expertly augmented by the fantastical images of birds flying, the sun, moon and stars locked in a never-ending rotation. One Stop Arts
The highlight of the show is the use of animation. Designed by Tom Munday, these serene, simplistic images are projected onto a screen on the set and add a depth and delicacy to Chief’s memories. They add a mark of originality on production, which differentiates itself from the film or novel. Paul Taylor-Mills’s direction shows his ability to fully exploit the space and maximise the talent of the actors. Broadyway Baby
David Shields’ set is a grimly functional rendering of mental hospital recreation room, the subtle and pretty addition of origami birds clustered around the upper window a neat touch. Special mention to the beautiful projections, designed by Tom Munday, which punctuate the action and bridge the scene changes alongside soliloquies from the ward’s longest serving inmate. Gay Times
Effective too is Dwayne Washington, who as native American Chief Bromden delivers a series of monologues that pepper the play. While his dialogue all too often has to compete with some overloud music, they are accompanied by frankly beautiful shadow puppetry visuals by Tom Munday which are the visual highlight of the evening. Scott Matthewman
Tom Munday’s projections on the nurses’ blind are a beautiful visual narration alongside the monologue of the characters and capture our imagination with rustic shadow puppetry, before we are rudely awakened from our dream-like state by the institution’s harsh, clinical strip lights. A Younger Theatre
The Fairtrade Foundation asked me to produce a video that would promote their Take A Step campaign for 2012. We needed the film to be unmistakably by Fairtrade, and for it to work without audio for use instore displays.

Video for the Red Cross getting to grips with the complex issues of food insecurity. Wanting to emphasise the cyclical nature of the problem we used the circle as a motif. Part of their 2011 Seeds Of Change Campaign
Made in collaboration with Mr Robert Grieves
I provided some extra animated elements for Jake Morley’s video. Directed by Alex Genn-Bash we get to see Jake time-lapse his way round London. Stalk him over at www.jakemorley.com
Working with Publicis and Milkwood TV, I animated and composited this instore advert for LG 3D screens
A chance for a bit of 3D fun through time, promoting WillyWrapper.com whilst packing in as many euphemisms along the way as possible. Sound by John Gray of Roomservice Media, voice over by Alex Genn-Bash
Working with the now defunct Knifedge, I led a team creating projected content for a heliosphere at a Chinese Festival. Beginning in London and then finishing the work on-site just outside of Changsha, we were witnesses to an unbelievable Chinese spectacular, featuring hundreds of dancers, wire work, floating stages in lakes, miles of LED, and the most stunning fireworks I’ve seen by a long chalk (and I was in Naples when they got promoted to Serie A). You can see some of my storyboard stills below.

I worked on a range of projects for Guardian films with a few different ones compiled above. In order these are:
Building The Future – a series of short films on environmental architecture
The Observer Ethical Awards – online and live stings for the annual Observer event. These ended up also becoming part of the set design
Green Streets – A documentary series on a street’s attempts to reduce their energy use and bills, illustrations by Sandra Howgate
During the Olympics the Arts Council commissioned three artists to run an educational arts scheme with local school children exploring the concept of Truce. I assisted Janette Parris with this, working with a group of pupils from BSix Sixth Form College in Hackney to produce six animations with them. Find out more at http://trucearts.org
