Karrot Animation was established in 2008 by Jamie Badminton, Chris White and Tim O’Sullivan. Together they have years of shared experience in television, stage and screen production.
Their first major CBBC commission has recently aired on BBC1 and the studio now offers a complete commercial service to produce adverts, music videos, shorts, web content, and development for TV series and features.
Jamie started his career in production, storyboarding and animation on CGI feature Valiant (2005). He then co-wrote and illustrated Karrot’s first project; the first title in a self-published children’s book series, Hairy Ponies and Friends. He has also taught regular Animation History lectures at degree-level at The Arts Institute at Bournemouth.
Tim heads up Karrot Animation’s production studio, developing new projects and directing commercial work. He has animated on several tv series, title sequences and the Greirson award winning documentary ‘Here’s Johnny’. He has just finished directing our first series commission for Unique TV and CBBC.
Chris has over 20 years of proven success and experience in brand marketing, theatre and events management. He founded product design and manufacturing company Bluwstuff in 2002, creators of a wide portfolio of novelty gifts and for the last 6 years Chris has managed BluwCreative, Karrot's web production partners.
