Australian freelance animator and motion designer

I’m an Australian animator and motion designer with over 20 years experience creating videos for creative agencies, businesses, and organisations. This experience has made me a trusted partner to many agencies and clients who want animated videos of a consistently high standard that are delivered on time with minimal hassle.

As a generalist I’m able to create both 2D and 3D animations in a wide variety of visual styles to suit the topic or brand. My process going into every job is to carefully listen to the client and get as much information as possible to deliver them an animated video that best suits their needs, putting any ego or personal preferences aside to facilitate what outcome is needed.

Based in Melbourne I’m available to work remotely for anyone local or worldwide in a traditional freelance capacity, or to create an entire video from concept development, though to storyboarding, and completion.

I also work as part of the creative team Northey and Northey with my brother Shane, extending our capabilities and availability for when larger projects or multiple animators are needed. We pride ourselves on our clear communication with clients and reliability to ensure animations are always created to the highest standard and delivered on time, the the reviews below with are testament to this…

I was beyond impressed by Shane and Lachlan from Northey and Northey. They were able to turn around a really high quality product, exactly to brief in an incredibly tight timeframe. Both Shane and Lachlan's transparency and responsiveness in communication was top notch, and their work is hugely appreciated by all of us here at the VCCC Alliance!

Jessica Palumbo

Northey and Northey were a dream to work with. I tasked them with bringing my vision to life for a hard waste education campaign and what the delivered was exactly what I had envisioned. They were really easy to deal with, nailed the brief, and their quality of output was fantastic. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Lucy Brookes

Genuinely the most professional, talented, accomodating and easy to work with person. I adore our final product and have been constantly impressed with Chris’ flexibility and ability to navigate a sometimes tricky brief. Thank you Chris. I’m so proud of the end result and hope we get to work together again

Shane and Chris were awesome to work with, producing a high-quality animated TVC that way exceeded our expectations. Their ideas helped add another layer to our project, the turnaround time was super quick, and nothing was too much trouble. We'll be coming back for more!

Shane has been amazing to work with! He produced a really sophisticated, dynamic series of animations for us in a record amount of time. He really helped to bring our campaign to life. He was a pleasure to work with - very reliable, works quickly and effectively and always considered in his responses. We'd jump on the chance to work with him again, and I'd highly recommend him!

Marc Edwards

The brothers were absolute professionals throughout the entire project. It’s refreshing to work with creatives who understand how to talk to an audience, deliver on brand and go over and above to ensure the final product meets the objective. Look forward to the opportunity to work with the boys again.
