John Smith

His passion and interest in drawing and painting has resulted in numerous exhibitions throughout Wales, where he is now based. The Welsh television channel S4C commissioned him to create and produce a film for a series of programs exploring art animation called ‘Short shorts’. His film entitled ‘Claiming the Rainbow’ was made in Clive Walley’s studio using the unique animation rig, which enabled him to incorporate animated paint alongside traditional stop frame animation methods. He was also responsible for the audio and post production.

He has worked as Associate Producer for an independent film company ‘Gringo Productions’ on a film entitled ‘Painted Skin’, one of a series of films where the subject matter was ‘body modification’.
