WOBBLYLOBSTER is award winning multi-style visual artist and director Stephen Smith creating unique and engaging animation, illustration and design.
Predominantly working within the music industry, Steve has created countless music videos, lyric vids and visualisers for a whole range of successful acts. Gaining awards, nominations, official selections, media features and TV broadcasts including winning Best Animation Music Video at the UK Music Video Festival 2023 and a premiere broadcast on Adult Swim.
With a strong ability to conceive and build on connections between the music, art and audience, Steve animates original and ideal music visuals for musicians and bands of any genre.
Be them narrative, character focused music videos or more abstract visual-pieces, WOBBLYLOBSTER is an animator that delivers imaginative and tailored subverted themes, high concepts and eye-grabbing visuals that ride the dynamics of the song.
Through many years experience, passion for all things creative and a probing, analytical brain, Steve has a great understanding of an audience’s response to maximise entertaining and interesting pieces. Covering anything from the emotive, powerful and thought-provoking to the humorous, fun and downright bizarre.
Mainly working with 2D motion graphics in various styles and aesthetics, Steve frequently utilises mature cartoon character designs (including illustrative versions of the acts themselves) and cut-out photo / collage / mixed media animation including film and 3D elements. With an eye (and ear) for detail, Steve is also skilled with tight synchronisation, lending itself to animated lip-syncing, beat matching and tight kinetic typography.
WOBBLYLOBSTER has also scripted, directed & animated various shorts, including documentary biopics, children’s stories and comedy sketches. Steve’s motion graphics work also cover original animated album artworks and online visuals. His mo-graph also expands to TV projects which includes the Netflix documentary series ‘I AM A KILLER’
