Gideon Baws
Monday, 13. October 2008 - 10:20 am
It is with great sadness that we have to announce that Gideon Baws, member of animation directing team Shynola, has passed away.
Gideon, 33, died on Saturday in a hospital near Las Vegas, after a short holiday spent with Shynola colleague Richard Kenworthy and his wife, after they had attended a wedding together in Los Angeles.
A moving tribute to Gideon appears on fellow animator David O’Reilly’s website. David talks about the huge help that Gideon offered him in starting his own career, a sentiment shared by other members of the music video and animation community. More tributes to Gideon are already appearing on Antville.
As a member of Shynola, Gideon was part of an outstanding team that set new standards for modern animation and created some of the best music videos of the last decade.
Our sincere condolences go out to Gideon’s family and many friends for their tragic loss.

I remember Gideon Baws.
He was in my tutor group at school.
This was a horrendous tragedy that led Gideon to have lost his life at such a young age.
My thoughts are with his family!

gideon was a one off original – that rare thing of huge talent, generosity of spirit, enormous fun and a totally nice man. the world needs more souls like him and his loss has robbed us off someone very special who was loved by so many. my thoughts and condolences go out to his family, friends and shynola. i was lucky to have know him and the guys early in their careers and see their work rightly reach stellar acclaim. the great work lives on and so does his remarkable spirit. may it burn bright in all our memories. he will never be forgotten. from us all at onedotzero past and present it was an honour to have known and spent time in his company.

China’s 2007 short film Juvenile gained official selection at Edinburgh, Sundance and Berlin film festivals, and last year she directed Emo, a one-off drama for C4’s Coming Up New Talent scheme. She was also named a ’star of tomorrow’ in Screen International’s annual review of British filmmaking talent.
