About Me
I am
a freelance junior
animator and MA Animation
and BA Computer Animation graduate from the University of South Wales.
I am interested in all types of CG
animation from character to
creature, but have recently started to lean towards VFX since
working in the industry as
a professional.
​
I am a keen
photographer, and
enjoy learning how films are
directed to help drive the
storytelling, completing my dissertation on the subject of cinematography. When not learning new techniques about cinema or animating, I enjoy following sports such as Rugby, Football
and Boxing as well as
building Lego.
Work Experience
Dupe VFX (13/12/2021 - 21/07/2023)
Junior Animator
At Dupe VFX, I worked across 4 projects, using Maya as my primary animation tool. Other tools and software were utalised such as the CRAFT car rigging system for maya and Houdini's KineFX for ragdolls. I really developed over my time here and am eager to continue to develop as an animator and contribute to more great projects. Production time tracking and feedback was given over ftrack.
​
Painting Practice (24/10/2019 - 06/11/2019)
Within the two weeks on the placement, I worked on post-vis for His Dark Materials series 2. This consisted of using Cinema 4d for tracking, animating and rendering. The experience also improved my communication skills, while working as part of a team and independently to reach deadlines.
Education
MA Animation (2020-2021)
Distinction
During my year of study, I completed five modules; Animation Pre-Production, Animation Professional Practice, Animation Production, Animation Final Production and Animation Production Review. Each further developed my animation and storytelling skills, as well as continuing to refine my independent and team management skills to meet personal and required deadlines.
BA Computer Animation (2017-2020)
First Class Honours Degree
During my three years here, I learned and develop my skills and understanding of Computer Animation through a large variety of projects from animating characters and creatures to animating for Games and VFX.
Foundation Art and Design (2016-2017)
On this course I started to develop my animation skills, after sampling a number of art forms from Graphic Design to Fine Art, I chose to specialise in Animation. I learned the basic techniques of animation through the medium of 2D Animation and Stop Motion projects that further developed my passion for Animation.
