Matt Parry

The Opus Pocus

“Working with Matt we had a specific brief to create two bespoke videos with interlinked narratives that were languageless and easy to understand, with consistency in look and feel being crucial. The videos delivered were perfect for our requirements and Matt was accommodating and efficient throughout the process. Highly recommended!”

Robert Yarr

Research Assistant, Swansea University

“Matthew is one of the most dependable animators we know. He clearly uses vast experience to find creative and technical ways to work around tight turnarounds and limited resources. He really understands the need for a brief rather than just what’s been asked of him. Need animation help? Ask Matthew!”​

Patrick Hathaway

“IT’S MUSIC has recently started working with Matt on their children’s animated videos. We have been so impressed by his creativity, understanding of the brief and speed of design. He fully integrates us in the process of his animation, takes on board any feedback and comes back with impressive alternatives. We are thrilled to be working with Matt and hope that our relationship will continue for many years to come. IT’S MUSIC is proud to be known as one of Matt’s clients!”

Sha Armstrong

IT’S MUSIC

“We approached Matt with a project to distill a complex new app into a simple, easy to follow ‘how to’ video within a tight deadline. Matt approached each step with transparent communication, clarity on his needs or dependencies and was highly receptive to new ideas and iterations during the process – which is critical as an early stage company. Would definitely work with Matt again.”
