Connor Campbell on getting his start in animation and the future of his London-based motion studio

For Connor Campbell, animation wasn’t the career path he had always expected to fall into. However, we’d say it turned out rather nicely. Since going solo and launching his own studio in 2019, Campbell already has an impressive list of clients to his name – Apple, Nike, MTV and Jamie XX to name a few. We had a chat with Connor to learn more about the magic behind his experimental practice, and gain an insight into his day-to-day life in the studio. PT: Can you tell us about how you first got into motion design? CC: My background was always very firmly rooted in graphic design, which I studied at Edinburgh College of Art back in the day. When I graduated, I found myself with a very wide range of generalist skills, from coding, video editing through to print design and branding, all of which ultimately landed me an internship as an Art Director at It’s Nice That.
