Hamish Gilbert | Popplehoop
Howdy. I’m an artist, animator, visual storyteller, and music composer driven and inspired by my firm belief that all logic is fundamentally flawed. Under the name Popplehoop, I craft visually rich, thought-provoking absurdist art, animations, story concepts, and music that blend bright colours with dark humour, using unconventional work processes.
With years of experience in animation, illustration, and story development (Schnezel Bronson, ABC Kids, Mythbusters, Discovery Channel), I love discovering new technologies which enable me to keep testing the boundaries of art and creativity.
By integrating traditional art, animation and video workflows with AI tools, I am continually discovering new possibilities in storytelling, motion design, and visual effects.
I’m here to collaborate with filmmakers, producers, musicians, writers, voice actors and other creatives looking for unconventional but distinctive visuals, stories, characters, music and soundscapes. Feel free to introduce yourself and share your portfolio!!
