Shynola are a London-based directing team who have worked across live-action and animation for over twenty years. Chris Harding, Richard Kenworthy, Jason Groves and the late Gideon Baws formed Shynola while they were at art college in the late 1990s.

Their music video work includes musical artists such as Junior Senior, Radiohead, Beck, Blur, Coldplay, ABBA and Queens of the Stone Age, along advertisements for brands like Nike, Audi, PlayStation and Maserati. They also created title sequences for series and films: The IT Crowd, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Mandy, and Netflix’s GLOW.

Their awards include a British Independent Film Award and three times Emmy nominations, with wins at Edinburgh International Film Festival, D&AD awards and UK Music Video Awards.

In 2008, founding member Gideon Baws died at age 33.
