Oliver Harrison won 'Best Motion Graphics' in this year's British Animation Awards for his animated graphic piece 'Apocalypse Rhyme'. In addition to the BAA Award, the film became a Vimeo ‘Staff Pick’, resulting in 15K viewings in one day.

As well as pioneering 'kinetic typography', Oliver has worked with most of the top agencies in the USA and the UK, clients include: Nike, Reebok, Delta Airways, Marie Claire, Toyota, Royal Mail and MTV. He also created the title sequence for Merchant Ivory’s Oscar winning Howard’s End.

Oliver has made six films. 'Love is All' - described by Time Out as "an ineffably sweet ode de l'amour" - has been screened in festivals around the world, including the 'Director‘s Fortnight' in Cannes and at The Tate Modern London. 'The Fallen Word' (60mins) premieréd at the BFI Southbank, London in May last year. A compilation DVD of Oliver’s films was released last year called 'The Fallen Word and Collected Films', funded by the Arts Council England and on sale through the British Film Institute. His first film Amore Baciami was adapted for a commercial for the Royal Mail and picked up a 'Gold Lion' at Cannes.
