Bring your ideas to life

Hi, I’m Martin.

I help authors transform their ideas into animation so they reach more people, stand out, and make a bigger impact.

I’ve spent 25 years creating animation for platforms like Netflix and working directly with authors like Cory Muscara and Alain de Botton.

The Opportunity

You’ve written something meaningful.

But once it’s out there, it’s hard to get people to see it, especially in a world dominated by fast, visual content.

So your work risks staying on the page, instead of reaching the audience it deserves.

The Solution

Short, story-driven animations that bring your work to life.

The kind of content that helps people experience your ideas before they’ve even read them, making them more likely to follow, share, and dive deeper into your work.

Why Stories?

Stories are at the heart of human connection.

Throughout history, they've been our primary means to engage, inspire, and understand the world.

Our minds are hard-wired to absorb information when we’re laughing, crying, and fully immersed in an entertaining narrative.

Why Animation?

Animation lets your ideas move from the page to the mind and heart of your audience.

It makes complex ideas feel simple, immediate, and memorable. It transforms abstract concepts into something people can see, feel, and share.

It also creates a visual style unique to you, helping you stand out and become instantly recognisable.

Bringing a book to life

I recently worked with the author Cory Muscara to turn key ideas from his writing into short animated pieces designed for social platforms.

These pieces helped audiences experience his ideas, growing his audience from 600k → 1M in under 12 months, while making his work more shareable and engaging.

Result
92M+ Instagram Reel views | 5m+ likes | 20k+ comments

People love the videos… Animation is one of the few things that can really pop and reach people quickly.
— Cory Muscara

I’ve also worked with the author Alain de Botton to bring his essays and ideas to life through animation.

These videos turned his written ideas into shareable, visual experiences, helping audiences engage with his ideas in a completely new way.

Result
10M+ YouTube views | 400k likes | 40k comments

Beautiful, wise, elegant and fun. Films of utter genius. I couldn’t be happier with the results.
— Alain de Botton, The School of Life

25 years of industry experience

I bring high-quality animation experience from working with clients including Netflix and the BBC.

Even with subject matter that can be somewhat dry and heavy, they’re great at coming up with solutions. We would sing their praises to strangers!
— Anissa Richmond, Executive Producer, Netflix
