Hey!
My name is Brad Purnell.
I am an Animator at heart but an all-rounder when it comes to creative media, with over 15 years of experience in graphic design, animation, video, and digital media.
Highly proficient in After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere Pro, I specialise in motion graphics, 2D character animation, VFX, compositing, and design
My experience spans advertising, television, film, music videos, theatre, and live events. I've contributed to award-winning projects for clients and collaborators including the BBC, Uber, The Gates Foundation, RSA, and TED-Ed, as well as creating video projection for live performances by Elton John, Pulp, and Kylie Minogue.
I love all things creative, and love the challenge of making work that helps explain an idea, inspires, or just down right entertains! I want to make the best work possible, and from my experience this requires a balance of great ideas with well thought-out planning, an efficient way of working and a high amount of attention to detail.
