Hi, I’m James — an award-winning motion graphics animator and illustrator with 25 years of industry experience, bringing creative ideas to life.
I founded Voodoo Motion in 2014, specialising in 2D/3D animation, motion design and visual communication delivered through agencies and production companies.
We create engaging animated content for public sector, government, corporate and broadcast clients, including animated explainers, information films, campaign content, social media animation, title sequences and visual assets for digital and video communications.
We work directly with organisations or as an experienced freelance production partner to agencies and production companies, providing reliable animation and design support from concept through to delivery.
Whether you’re developing a new concept, launching a campaign, or looking to elevate an existing project, we bring a collaborative approach, combining design thinking, technical expertise, and a passion for creating work that connects with audiences.
We believe great visual communication isn’t just about how something looks — it’s about how it moves, feels, and effectively it tells a story.
