Movies.
Several of Veitch's movies, including one featuring a remake of Destiny's Child's Independent Woman by Elbow, are played and sung by kittens, similar to the Crusha adverts which Veitch also created.
Some of Veitch's other movies feature actual songs by artists such as Madonna, with either slightly edited lyrics, and/or with modified subtitles, and always with fitting, and sometimes funny animations.
Commercial work.
Veitch is responsible for many adverts and other spots on both British and US TV.
In January 2007, Veitch reached a settlement with Coca-Cola after they used music and video very similar to 7 Seconds of Love's song "Ninja" on one of their adverts in Argentina without permission.
Awards.
Veitch has received three Webby Awards, a Webby People's Choice Award and a further Webby nomination for rathergood.com.
His film "Uncle Wormsley's Christmas" was awarded Best Original Score at the Sapporo International Short Film Festival. "Uncle Wormsley's Christmas" was also nominated for Best Animated Film in the International Film Awards Berlin.
