Animation
Watching Studio Ghibli's Spirited away at the age of 15 opened some kind of revelation for me. Animation wasn't something "just for kids" - someone had to actually make this!
Somthing someone could do as a job!
So began a educational route to learn to be an animator.
I started on the schools computers back in 2006. Learning how to use what was then Macromedia Flash (now owned by adobe)
I taught myself frame by frame animation and motion tweening. Soon I was making "home animations" to upload online.
in 2009 with a small showreel I was accepted into the
University of Bolton's Animation & Illustration Course.
This course was lead by industry proffesionals
Pete Beard
Illustrator for the Radio Times
and Meryl Edge
Key Frame Animator at Cosgrove Hall - BFG, Wind in the Willows, Danger Mouse.
There I honed my skills and after three years of hard work I graduated in 2012 with a degree
Bachelor of Arts 1st + Honours.
Finally I was an animator!
Since then I have made web animations for online influencers and indie film.
Although I can easily say animation is my passion, I do not tend to be able offer this service on a free-lance base often. This is due to time commitments and clashes with other jobs.
