Toby Anthonisz
Design & Animation



















let’s make something nice together.I collaborate on, lead or fully create 2D & 3D animation projects, mixed media, projection based installations and live action content. My approach to working with you and your team is one with compassion, collaboration and good humour.

As a visual storyteller, I bring fresh and informed ideas drawing from 15 years of experience as a Designer and Animator across Film & TV Marketing, Architecture Visualisation, Museum Exhibition and Event A/V and Interactive Video Advertising. My work as a Creative Director benefits from my additional experience as a Producer and DP in Live Action Production short form projects.

As a primary carer of my chronically ill partner for 7 years, I have a special awareness of the importance of an inclusive work environment and a strong focus on nurturing and mentoring creative collaborators.

Bio
Toby Anthonisz is a multi-disciplined creative working across design, animation, and live action production. 

In 2009, his final year project Subject to Change interactive film was installed at the National Waterfront Museum, drawing attention from the BBC and HBO. This eventually lead Toby to direct his first interactive commercial in New York for Airwick in 2013, which won an Ad Age innovation award. After which, he relocated to New York to continue directing interactive advertising projects for Verizon. 

In 2017, Toby returned to London and created permanent animated installations for the National Maritime Museum, National Army Museum and the widely acclaimed Video Games exhibition at the V&A while permalancing with Squint/Opera. During this time Toby also expanded into producing, working with director Stefano Ottaviano on spoken word and dance-based films Social Distortion (2018), which was distributed through Schön Magazine, and Crxss Platform (2019) which was featured on Nowness. 

He and writer/director Charli Whatley then co-founded their own production company Faded Neon Films in 2020, through which they created This Is Football: Marcus Harrison x Jacob for England Football, which was broadcast on BT Sport and has over 400K views online, and Chronically Locked Down which was selected for DepicT! and London Short Film Festival, screening at the Curzon Soho.
Toby has worked on all Faded Neon Films smaller productions as Director of Photography, including Dreamland for artist Cat Florence which was selected to screen at BIFA qualifying Cornwall Film Festival in 2022.

Toby joined Zealot in 2022, where he worked on the title design, title sequences and pitch decks for major film and tv titles such as Top Boy, Anatomy of a Fall, L’Amour Ouf, A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder and The Radleys.  Over the two and half years at the studio, projects he worked on accrued 8 Promax/GEMA Awards and 2 Golden Trailer Awards, while the studio itself was crowned Promax Agency of the Year in 2023. 

Since late 2024, Toby operates as a freelance creative and co-runs Something Nice with his partner Charli Whatley.
