Stoneage Animations is one of the biggest animation studios in the
South East (of my house), employing 50% of the inhabitants (me).
I’m a fan of all sorts of animation, but particularly from the middle
years of the 20th Century. Most (but not all) of my films are
designed to accompany music, either me - in the guise of my virtual
(i.e. non-existent) group “The Surfivors” - playing covers of guitar
instrumentals from the 1950’s and 60’s (sense a pattern here?),
or talented singer/songwriter Mark Baptist playing and singing his
own compositions.
For some of the films I’ve, err, “repurposed” vintage clips that were
lying about on the internet and modified/stitched them together
to fit the song. Others are my own, and some are a mixture.
All of the films appear on my YouTube channel playlist (click here)
but you can link directly to some of them by clicking on the relevant
thumbnail below. They will open in YouTube in a new, separate window.
Random bits and pieces…..
All just for fun, but if you happen to want a short animated video to
go with your music - or for any other purpose - just let me know!

Two of my films ( “A Moving Experience” and “These Days”) won
awards in the 2022 British International Amateur Film
Competition and were shown as part of the week long Festival
“A Moving Experience” was one of 6 films chosen to represent
Britain at the UNICA Internation Film Competition held in
Locarno in Switzerland. 25 countries took part - a bit like the
Eurovision Song Contest I guess…..
…and much like our entries in the Eurovision Song Contest my
film sank without trace, but it was an honour to be selected.
In the 2023 competition run by the South East Region of the
Institute of Amateur Cinematographers (SERIAC)
“Dino-Sore” was awarded the Paterson Cup for Best Animated
Movie and the Southern Sound Award for Best use of Sound.
“These Days” was Highly Commended
What the critics say..
A Moving Experience - “Stylish and excellent in all
categories”(BIAFF)
Dino-Sore - `”Everything you would expect from a good cartoon.
Great humour…and clever ideas” (SERIAC)
Close Encounters - “ A delightful…charming and professional
animation” (SERIAC)
These Days - “An expertly crafted film “ (SERIAC)
