Johnny Kelly

Johnny Kelly is a designer from Dublin, working in London for Nexus Productions. He created “Procrastination” on his MA animation course at the Royal College of Art and it won the Jerwood Moving Image Award. It is based on the meaning of the word “Procrastination” and uses hand drawn stop motion and live stop frame too. It is a fantastic concept and is produced brilliantly, it doesnt really stick to one style or theme but uses lots of techniques which i think makes it more interesting. Also the voice-over works well, I might look into using one in my work.

His next video is called "The Seed", the one that I saw first that made me want to see more of his work. It is an animation for Adobe featuring the life journey of an apple seed, using 2d animation and stop frame animation it flows effortlessly throughout the stages of its growth. I really like the humour aspect of it like the bird hitting the tree and the worm underground at the beginning, also the transitions between the two styles work really well.
