ANIMATION DIRECTOR / Creative Director / LEAD Animator / Designer / XR Specialist

Hello, I am Blair Burke, an independent creative director from Melbourne, Australia. For almost 20 years, I have travelled across Australia and abroad to work with the best creative studios within Film, Television, Advertising, Gaming and Technology.

I have animated on some of the most watched films of the past few years. I have designed interfaces used by millions of people for world leading brands. I’ve worked on innovative interactive location based experiences with world leading museums and my work has been awarded by industry peers for its quality and innovation.
‍
I spend my days working on VFX films and collaborating with various organisations to push new augmented reality and XR technology into exciting, new creative areas.
‍
Previous projects have included, creating character animation on the 2023 Academy Award Winner for Best Visual Effects, “AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER” (2022), the 2017 Academy Award Winner for Best Visual Effects, “THE JUNGLE BOOK” (2016) and Academy Award Nominee’s for Best Visual Effects “THE BATMAN” (2022) and “GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY” (2014).  As well I have animated on the blockbuster projects, “THE LAST OF US” (2023), “THE LEGO MOVIE” (2014) and Steven Spielberg’s “THE BFG” (2016).

I've helped launch new technology with Sir Peter Jackson and Apple, tried to heal the world with David Attenborough and Netflix and helped raise awareness to endangered species with WWF and Oculus.

I’m always trying to create exciting and meaningful experiences, whether digital or non-digital. I spend my free time animating, designing, creating games, drawing and creating films. I am in constant pursuit of good work that’s going to engage me creatively and technically.
