Joel Collins

As production designer, Joel Collins shared with his colleagues the BAFTA Award for Best Visual Effects given to the Nick Copus-directed miniseries The Day of the Triffids. He was again a BAFTA Award nominee as production designer on Charlie Brooker's darkly satirical anthology series Black Mirror, one of the most talked-about television programs of recent years. Mr. Collins and his team have undertaken the production design, art direction and set decoration, visual effects, motion graphics, and title sequence for seven completely separate episodes of the show.

Among his feature films as production designer have been two movies with the Hammer & Tongs filmmaking collective, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Son of Rambow; Fredrik Bond's Charlie Countryman; and Eran Creevy's upcoming Collide, starring Nicholas Hoult and Felicity Jones. The latter first teamed him with London Has Fallen cinematographer Ed Wild.

Mr. Collins has collaborated with Aardman Animations on the design of two of their features, Arthur Christmas and The Pirates!
