Robin Len started working with computers, animation and photography in the late 1970's. In the early 1980's at Trinity Square Video, he developed innovative compositing approaches, using analog video equiptment to integrate his imagery electronically. His work from this period has been exhibited internationally and is part of the archives of Canadian video art housed at V-Tape and Trinity Square Video. After graduating with honours from the Ontario College of Art, Len designed for the stage and was recognized with a Dora Mavor Moore award. He has collaborated with numerous Ontario artists including John Greyson, Patricia Rozema, Susan Rynard and others, bringing his unique sensibility to their film and video projects.
Subsequently, Len applied his craft to broadcast design, working for most Canadian networks at one time or another and winning international awards in competition with major US networks. He redesigned cable networks including the Shopping Channel and ESPN in the US, and created the on-air look for the launch of Showcase Television. Len's work has extended into many commercial projects. He created pieces for BMW and flow 93.5, and brand identities for Telus, Sprint and others. Len is also the creator of a number of main title sequences for feature films, working with Handmade films, Universal Pictures, Alliance Atlantis and others.
