I'm a British animator who has aspirations of working in films and other exciting series'.

Biography

I started my animation career as an assistant animator working on projects by Lupus Films ( We're going on a Bear Hunt & Ethel and Ernest) where I learnt many skills and had the chance to see the sketches of the animators. I again got the chance to study other animators animation when I began my 3D journey as an animator fixer at Jellyfish Pictures working on Bitz & Bobs, along with Floogals I also had the opportunity to be an anim tech on the film Spirit: Untamed . Whilst at Jellyfish I was given the chance to animate on S3 of Floogals and the 2nd season of Dennis & Gnasher: Unleashed - getting the chance to experiment with more cartoony animation. Other shows i've had the chance to work on that have been different styles again was Pip & Posy which was animated on 2's and an undisclosed project which I animated and learnt how to use Blender. I have really enjoyed working within tv and would to experience working on films and other series' that I can again push myself within and learn more skills. In order to develop my skills I also signed up and took the Expert Animation class by Animsquad whilst I was working - this class really helped me with understanding polishing more as well as my acting choices.
