JOE BARLOW.

When I was show the process of creating a stop-motion animation at an early age I was immersed into the filmmaking world, this single event spark an interest that has continued every day of my life since.

I quickly became fascinated with the art of video editing and throughout my teenage years, spending countless hours created short films and animations, each project helping learn and discover new skills and techniques.​

​

​I eventually attended Walsall College where I studied film in an educational environment for the first time.  I continued to follow my passion by studying at Ravensbourne University, a small London based university that specialised in digital media and design. Here I got the chance to gain even more insight into the creative world, being taught by industry professionals.

​

Upon graduating, I ventured into the freelance world, partnering with other creatives to achieve their vision, focusing on visual effects and motion graphics. ​

​

In my early twenties, I joined the team at Learning Labs, an experience that would significantly shape my career path. Through the creation of educational animations, branding, and marketing materials for FlashAcademy® and FlashSticks®, I explored the profound impact of visual storytelling on education. ​

​

My journey then led me to Big Button Media, a strategic video agency specialising in technology, engineering, and finance. As their Motion Graphics Designer, I was thrust into a world of diverse projects, each demanding a unique blend of animation, graphics, and visual effects. Working with a top 50 UK agency broadened my horizons, challenging me to push the boundaries of my creativity for a wide client base.

​

​Today, I stand at an exciting crossroads, eager to collaborate once more with filmmakers and business owners. Through my work, I aim to continue telling stories that inspire, engage, and move people. Whether it's through the subtle beauty of motion graphics or the dynamic appeal of visual effects, I'm dedicated to transforming visions into captivating digital realities.
