Chelfyn Baxter’s Summary

I'm Creative Director of Mohawk Media, producing 3D Animation and weekly Science & Technology podcasts for the g33k show. I have regular slots as a Technology Commentator / Futurist on Radio New Zealand, National, and Kiwi FM. I have also appeared as a technology commentator on TV3's Campbell Live, TV3 News, TV1 News, and Williams Upfront (SKY NZ/AUS).

I have many years commercial design experience from my varied career in the UK's Broadcast, Web & Games industries. My NZ show-reel includes production of an 8 week season of the g33k show on Alt TV, a 3D channel ident & news intro for SKY TV, plus 3D graphics for 'Decoding Dyslexia' a TVNZ documentary that aired at Cannes MIPDOC in 2007,

I spent two years at 4:2:2 Video-graphics, the UK’s leading design/post-production house specialising in natural history. At 4:2:2 I worked on 3D adverts, idents, intros and stings, plus programs for the BBC, Channel 4 (UK) and The Discovery Channel.

My UK show-reel includes my work on the triple BAFTA award winning Longitude, the BMA silver medallist Body Story.
