This is EyeCandy. It’s a home for big industry names, before they’ve become big industry names. These directors make music videos, commercials, short films, social content and everything in between.
Alistair Nicholls
Alistair was born in a taxi cab and grew up obsessed with Wallace & Gromit, Wind In the Willows and (a bit later) Michael Gondry videos.
He pursued that love to uni, studying animation, and then (after a brief stint as a taxidermist) pursued it further, becoming a stop-motion animator and director for a range of artists and brands, including Louis Vuitton, Nickelodeon and Salomon. He’s also won a Young Guns award at the One Club for Creativity in 2023 (and a 15m swimming certificate). He’s known for embracing the handmade feel of stop-motion (fingerprints and a slight wobble.)
His favourite candy is Jelly Babies.
