Profile: Paul Bridges

Skills: Predominantly a Motion Graphic Designer with many years working in Broadcast, Interactive TV and Web. Also experienced in Flash animation and site design, video editing, branding, illustration and other forms of Graphic Design.

Worked for Sky TV for many years, creating motion graphics and video content for well known brands and channels. Including, Sky Sports, Sky Active, Sky Gamestar, The History Channel, The Crime and Investigation Channel and Sky Arts, working on creative briefs for promos, idents, stings, titles, captions, advertising, point of sales, calls to action and prototype interactive portals.

I am vastly experienced in After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Final Cut Pro and Flash, and have my own Creative Suite.

Examples of my work

My website, www.paulbridgesmotion.com showcases numerous projects I've worked on aswell as my Flash skills.

For the Sky Learning website, Sky Learning Revision Tips I had to illustrate and animate cartoon elements on top of an edit featuring Konnie Huq. This had to appeal to teenagers, and gave me scope to have a bit of fun with it! I was involved from the shoot to final post.

At Skyactive, I was regularly taking in marketing led briefs for ad campaigns for the channel. This often saw me as Creative Director, where I'd originate, storyboard and present to client. I'd then be responsible for casting, shooting, editing and post of the final composition.

One example of brand work would be a recent pitch for an awards ceremony Betview Magazine.

Betview is a magazine for the betting trade, and needed a new identity, including logo, stationery, web banners, magazine cover and double page spread, and eventually an award. I originated all elements for both print and web.
