Keeping Busy

Monkey Monitor from Frankie Swan on Vimeo.











I was commissioned by Ubiquity Comms to create an animation to explain what the software monkey monitor does, without the luxury of a voice over. 

A tight four week project where i had to come up with the concept, design and sfx, also animate composite and direct! but got the job done phew.

Luckily I had help from these lovely and talented people:

music: Rafael Baldwin- rafael.baldwin@rcm.ac.uk

assistant animation:



The client received a slightly different version (i preferred the top one):
