Rod Lord is a designer and animator specialising in the design and production of 2D and 3D animation sequences for corporate, educational, training, commercial and broadcast video programmes.

With a DipAD in design and illustration from St Martins School of Art (now Central St Martins) where he focussed on film and animation, Rod went on via being a freelance illustrator to become an animator at ICEM (the MacMillans Educational Film Unit), then on to become MD of Pearce Studios Ltd.

The BAFTA and D&AD award winning animated graphic sequences for the BBC’s Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy TV series was followed by the introduction of one of the first commercially available 3D animation computer systems in the UK.

This system was used in 1985 to provide the BAFTA award winning 3D animated graphics for the 50 minute Channel 4 feature “Max Headroom - the movie” which preceeded the TV series.

Rod now works on his own from his studio in the Windsor and Maidenhead area of Berkshire. In addition to animation work he also undertakes multimedia and web site comissions with Dreamweaver and Flash, image retouching with Photoshop, video compositing with AfterEffects, video editing with Final Cut Pro and Cinewave, 3D modelling with FormZ, and 3D animation with Electric image.

Between 1996 and 2003 there have been one ETMA and three IVCA awards.

Rod recently provided the interface design and graphics as part of the Radio4 Interactive team that updated Douglas Adams’ web game of “Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy” which won the 2005 BAFTA Interactive award.
