The Adventures of Paddington is an animated tv series, produced by Blue-Zoo and Superprod Animation. Based on the popular Paddington Bear franchise, the show features a younger Paddington as he writes letters to his Aunt Lucy celebrating his adventures and discoveries throughout the day.

My role as Lead in lighting, rendering and compositing was to manage one of the core teams for the duration of both Series 1 and 2. This included responsibilities to create integral 'key' shots to define the look for episodes, as well as ensuring the team could meet the demands of the schedule and achieve the high visual quality throughout both series through mentoring and leadership. Integrating visual FX into lighting and compositing was also a key aspect for many episodes.

The series has won several awards including the British Animation Awards for Best Children’s Pre-School Series, as well as the Emmy Awards for both Outstanding Preschool Animated Series and Outstanding Writing Team for a Preschool Animated Program.
