A little about Jake…

Hello there! Welcome.

Hope you’re enjoying your day, and your virtual stay.

I’m Jake, founder of Animind Studio. I ascertained a first-class Bachelors of Arts degree in Film at Falmouth, then worked as an animator at a production house in the Midlands. From there, I set up my life as a freelancer… And here I am! And here you are, too. And as you’re here, it’s possible you’re considering working with me. If that’s the case, let the words below assure you that you’d be making the right call.

What I’ve done…

I've created animated lyric videos for Roger Taylor and Brian May (Queen), Roo Panes, Mipso, Keston Cobblers Club, TryHardNinja, Thomas Oliver, Cristovam, The Polish Ambassador, The Puppini Sisters, and many more accredited musicians on an international scale.

I’ve worked closely with Cheaney Media for Continental Tyres, as B-cam and motion graphics artist during their sponsorship of the Tour de France (2018), as well as working motion graphics and animation for their sponsorship of Ride London (2018).

I’ve worked as the animator/mograph artist for General Tire’s reveal video for their Altimax One tyre (2019), and created YouTube intro/end credit animations for globally renowned online chef, DJ BBQ as well as wildlife documentarian and BBC Earth host, Lizzie Daly.

My showreel, which illustrates my versatile skillset, is available upon request.

What people say about Animind…

 

“I can't decide which I love more; the final product or the process of working with Jake. He was stoked to accommodate all of our (sometimes ludicrous) ideas, and his vision for the video was just perfect. The way his creation interacts with the music is a musician's dream. If it weren't for the need of variation between releases, I'd give him the next single right now and do it all over again.”

Thomas Oliver (Musician)

“Really lovely to work with and did a phenomenal job at tweaking the details to create exactly what I wanted! Highly recommend to others and hopefully will work together again in the future.”

Lizzie Daly (BBC Earth)

“You are such a wonderful artist. It's been a delight working together. And I am so grateful for your care and time in working with my feedback, to make it the best it can be! Highly recommend Animind Studios!!”

Ayla Nereo (Musician)

“Jake created a truly brilliant animated lyric video for my band. He has a creative initiative and flare that really shone through, and he really went above and beyond devoting his time and effort to create a fantastic piece of art that he made sure we would love. A genuine craftsman that knows his craft and how to do it more than well. Having now been a customer of Jake, I have no doubt in saying that I 110% recommend Animind Studio to anyone that is seeking quality, professional, striking animation/lyric videos. Thanks for a brilliant piece of art Jake!”

Oliver Orton, Subculture (Musician)

“I loved working with Animind Studio. The team is super kind, professional and super creative. A great company!”

Clare Louise (Musician)

He was wonderful to deal with, super quick and extremely professional. He is amazing!
I am absolutely thrilled with the result, and hope to work with Animind Studio again in the near future.”

Marcella Puppini, The Puppini Sisters (Musician)

“Jake and Animind Studio have my HIGHEST recommendation! I came to Jake with a VERY ambitious animated video idea, and he brought it to life with joy, grace, and a level of artistry that surpassed my (very high) expectations.”
