HI!
My name is Fergal Brennan. I'm a freelance animator and illustrator based in Dublin. I specialise in computer animation and post-production work for short films, adverts and music videos. Have a look at my portfolio of work.

Currently working on a promo for a documentary project. In the early stages now, so not much else to say, but will have more info very soon.

Science Gallery Elements Show
I got asked to submit a poster for the current Table of the Elements show in the Science Gallery, Dublin. So I made a kids poster, representing each element as a character. Thanks to Gav Beattie of Tiny Little Horse for organising the art section of the show.
You can have a look at all the submissions here.

Follow the Fleet - School Kids Animation
I was excited to work on a really cool school competition, where I turned four kids' essays into full blown 3-minute animated epics! Got lots of animation help on this project from Richard O'Shea, Liadain Aiken & Peter Williams. This project was commisioned by the Marine Institute.

Shit Robot - 'Losing My Patience' - Music Video
I directed this stop-motion music video, with lots of help from my friends nudging models and releasing shutters. I was very happy that we managed to get (nearly) all of the image tricky done in-camera. Wow, this was a load of work, but lots of fun to make too. The Photography was shot by Jeannie O'Brien, Richard Gilligan, Ian Pearce and me!

After finishing the artwork for Sanso-Xtro's second album last September, it finally comes out the end of this month. It's being released by Digitalis Industries on lovely yellow vinyl, CD and download. You can buy it here on Boomkat. It was fun drwaing this cover entirely by hand, for a change!

I edited a fashion video for Eilis Boyle for her 10th collection. It was shot and directed by Richard Gilligan, styling by Aisling Farinella and title design by Conor & David. The video was shown at the launch in South Studios. I've never had that much Champagne in my life!
