Rob Manuel

Myself and young Dave have produced three ’sendables’ for JibJab.

All three are on a birthday theme.

Forklift
Hoedown
Cake

If you only check one, then please look at Forklift as it’s my favourite.

Four years ago, Lastminute.com asked me to make a song and animation for promotional purposes. The chappy who commissioned me was Carl Lyons, and the project (executed with Jonti Picking) was Disco Squirrels.

Carl recently got in touch and asked if I could do something similar. He’s now part of Truphone, a company that supplies a service to allow free VOIP calls on wireless enabled mobile phones. And that’s a mouthful.

Of course I’m happy to oblige. This time I dragged in Joel Veitch and Ed Snow and we produced this:

Last night Channel 4 put out the show my wife produced for October Films, and I made the graphics. Apparently it did well in the ratings, averaged at just over 2 million viewers with a peak of 2.685 m.

The best bit was a comment I read on B3ta, “I think it’s brilliant that Rob is married to a woman who peddles filth to the masses.”

Anyway, on the off chance that someone from TV land is reading and fancies giving me work, here’s a low-res rendering of the titles.
