Hello. The name’s Tim; front-end developer and designer, motion graphics hacker, backend tech mangler and occasional web game creator by day, gin and guitar abuser by night. Here’s some of my latest work and occasional ramblings. Use the menu up top to filter as you wish!

HomeAway

Loads of video banners, 5 localisations, good stuff.

Their Finest

Simple stuff really, but wth a nice subtle retro film grain effect.

HTML5 Space Invaders

One of those weeks with not so much to do and giving myself a Twitter reading ban because of that spluttering sack of orange sausage-meat that's playing at being president of the US - what to do? Try to make an HTML5, full, as-accurate-as-I-can version of Space...

Make way for Donny

Go Drumpf! I spent way too much time on this (always nice poking fun at the senile binbag of hate though!) Winning!

Bad Ads!

Love this! As an advertising designer and developer this article caught my eye, important stuff for the future of the industry... ...then the pop-up arrived!

EE Pay As You Go

A wee 10" film that will apparently appear on Snapchat (I will never see it live). Scraped together from a few assets and put together in AfterEffects. [video width="500" height="888"...

Dick and Dom

A nice minimalist redesign of DnD's website.

Grey Goose

Such banner, very html, much video, so vodka.

Pacman

Ah darnit, looks like the creator of Pacman, Toru Iwatani has died today. Utter genius! I played that game so many times on so many platforms and spend so much money in the arcades when it first came out. I thought I had sussed-out how and why the ghosts move as they...

Qbert Game

Love this one! Another xmas html5 game challenge tackled. Again, great to research the original game, see how the characters move and react, find the genius in the simplicty. Fantastic design and concept by the lovely people at BonnerMcHardy. But the music though!.....

Anodonta cygnea?

Found a load of these, mostly unopened at the edge of and in Verulamium lake. How on earth do they survive in that sludge-pit?

Bacardi – We are the Night

Particles... so many particles! Once more, Animate CC doing the heavy lifting here. 500 bat particles at 30 fps even on mobile!

Verulamium Sundown

Bulldog

Gin!

Intel

Nothing too taxing here, just some nice looking banners with added retina niceness.

Blair Witch

Lots of placements here, including a couple of juicy takeovers

Match 3 Game

Now here was a challenge! Creating a Candy Crush style game from scratch, with highscore database and user registration. I was considering Actionscript and getting it converted by Swiffy until Google decided to pull the plug on the whole Swiffy endeavour. What a...

Nine Lives

Got very excited here to work on a movie featuring two of the most psychotic bad-guys in Hollywood. This should be good I thought... ah... Still, more Animate CC goodness. Loving the new templating system, makes it so easy to switch quickly from Sizmek to Doubleclick...
