ANNAMATIONS

My BA final year major project was a short 2D animation, Petrified. With a team of two second year animators, an illustrator (for the painted backgrounds) and film students specialising in producing, editing and sound we worked hard for 8 months to realise an idea that i pitched during my second year - but which changed and was improved and developed by the team.

Below are some stills showing the main preproduction development:

These are some backgrounds I painted for Joe Bor’s graduation film My Third Arm. My first involvement in an animation team, during my first year. Although by the end of the 20 paintings I was sick of burnt umber and yellow ochre, it was a good experience and the film was shown, nominated and awarded in various competitions and festivals.

Welcome to my blog! I am new to this…so I’ll be just posting lots of images and videos of my work, starting with some older stuff from my 4 year exciting process of animated schooling. Enjoy and feel free to comment :)
