Then in later years, cinema releases such as The Wachowski's 'Jupiter Ascending', 'The Golden Compass' and Tim Burton's 'Sweeney Todd'; nominated for Best Film Graphics in 2008, by the British Animation Awards (BAA).
In the last few years alone Dean has completed more than 50 new title sequences, which includes films 'Saltburn', 'Ticket To Paradise' and 'The Phantom of the Open', as well as TV series 'The Undoing', 'Patrick Melrose', 'Blue Lights' and 'Hotel Portofino'.
