Evolutions boosts creative talent

Independent broadcast post house Evolutions has further strengthened its creative department by recruiting two senior operators from TSI.
Owen Tyler joins as Senior Editor/Compositor and Mark McKenna as Senior Graphic Designer. They follow in the recent footsteps of newly appointed Managing Director Simon Kanjee and Senior Editor Nick King.
Predominantly known for his TV documentary and promotions work, Tyler’s recent credits include ‘Other People’s Holidays’, ‘Child of our Time’, ‘Who Rules the Roost’, ‘Missing You Already’ and ‘Atlantic Edge’, as well as Fox Kids ongoing channel rebrand to ‘Jetix’ and on air promos for BBC, ITV, C4 and C5. His experience spans a whole range of editing and graphics kit from off-line to linear on-line, smoke to Symphony and flame.
McKenna joins to lead the company’s design team, which will now offer a full graphic design service from storyboarding to delivery. His recent credits include high profile projects such as ‘Test the Nation’, ‘This Morning’ and ‘Miss World’ and on air promo projects for the BBC, Fox Kids and Nickelodeon. McKenna will spearhead a move into the short form market at Evolutions, focusing on commercials, titles, promos and channel idents.
Kanjee said: “Having worked closely with Owen and Mark for such a long time, I’m delighted that they’ve decided to join us. I’ve seen first hand their superb creative talents and great client relationships. Their wide-ranging editing and graphics skill-sets will perfectly complement those of the existing team here, and more importantly will help take Evolutions into new areas.”
The company’s existing in-house creative team spanning off-line, linear and non-linear on-line, compositing, audio and 3D, includes Steve Brown, Adrian Church, Paul Fallon, Dave Frisby, Matt Gee, Nick Griffiths, Nick King, Ian Marriott-Smith, Daniel Richards and Nerys Richards.
