John Redfern, Master Horologist and 3D Animator, 1939 – 2019

RedfernAnimation.com – John Redfern was more than simply a superb animator; he was an expert horologist and so understood clocks and watches and literally what made them tick. And what made them special. Ever the perfectionist, he rebuilt the individual parts of famous old clocks as highly accurate computer models so that he could animate them precisely and show us how they worked.

 
“In this ANIMATING TIME animation, John Redfern explains how animation is the ‘art of the impossible’ and the world of a pocket chronometer is revealed. Now we take such images for granted, but it’s worth remembering the innovative genius of John Redfern who opened this world to us all almost thirty years ago.”
