Jamie Hewlett 
• Jamie Hewlett is a English comic book writer, 
and is more known as the Co Creator of the 
band, “The Gorillaz”. 
• Jamie attended a school in his hometown of 
Horsham, before moving on to Northbrook 
College. 
• He set up a fanzine with two other students 
at his college, which brought him to the 
attention of Brett Ewins, who then invited 
him to create material for a new magazine. 
• In 1998 Jamie and Damon Albarn created 
the band, the Gorillaz. They had the 
intention of keeping the band in a Animated 
form. The band are in the Guinness World 
Records, as the Most Successful Animated 
Band.
Videos and Purpose of the Band. 
• The Gorillaz use a animation technique called “Cell 
Shading” which includes creating a 3D Model and shading 
different parts of the object. 
• The Gorillaz also use a high frame rate, which means their 
videos are very smooth and clear. 
• The 3D characters are Lip Synced, which means that it 
looks like the characters are actually singing themselves. 
• Jamie Hewlett had a good knowledge of Animation and 
decided to create a animated band, and the Gorillaz were 
founded.
Quotes From Reviews 
• ‘Most successful virtual band’ - Guinness Book of Records 
• ‘An interactive cartoon band who use dub and hip hop 
techniques to create a sickly-sweet bubblegum pop’ – NME 
• ‘Brilliantly animated videos’ – Heather Phares of ALLMUSIC
How Their Work Has Influenced Other 
Bands. 
• The Gorillaz was the first ever band to produce an animated 
music video and as time went on other bands such as the 
Artic Monkeys and Young Folks began to produce their own 
animated music videos. 
Young Folks – Animator 
Graham Samuels 
Artic Monkeys – Animator 
Blinkink
12 Principles Of Animation Within The Gorillaz 
• The Gorillaz animated music video captured all 12 principles 
of animation, however one that was key was ‘timing’, because 
it was a music video, the sound had to run parallel to the 
animation on screen. So if there was say a guitar solo, the 
animated character had to look like he was playing a guitar to 
seem much more realistic.
