MICHAEL SPEED

I'm an art director and designer based in London, currently specialising in direction, product visualisation, CGI, animation, and title design projects.

Am currently working as Senior Motion Designer at Beggars Group—home to independent record labels 4AD, Matador Records, Rough Trade Records, XL Recordings and Young—leading projects from brief and concept development through to delivery across the record company.

I've enjoyed a decade-long collaboration at v23 with Vaughan Oliver, working on a variety of projects designing identities, album artwork and limited edition packaging projects. I continue to collaborate and work independently directing and designing projects in both print and moving image projects—2D motion graphic and 3D CGI animation.

'OYSTER BEDS' LYRIC VIDEO

Conflicting themes of Americana and spaghetti western clash with minimal and universal concepts to form dramatic CGI terrain, sinister formations, and both barren and beautiful landscapes. Inspired by the lyrical content, space and interstellar references are suggested in the typographic arrangement. These arrangements are applied through light projections onto the rock formations, further suggesting an otherworldly presence.
