CHARACTER ANIMATION.
Though I now focus more towards motion graphics, I was trained and educated in all aspects of 3D character animation.
As well as building a foundation for my 3D skills in motion graphics, character animation still manages to play a part in the odd project, when animated characters might be required. As well as animating, I also designed, modelled and rigged the majority of animated characters you can see below.
“SAFE KEEPING”
Made as a project for myself to develop on all the key fundamentals of 3D, from lighting and materials to rigging and character animation. I worked on this project, from initial sketch to final render, on and off over the course of six months.
This animated short tells us never to forget our innermost childhood dreams.
I also give myself credit for the catchy whistling tune!
Created entirely in Maya.
“THE SNOWMAN RACES”
Created for Intu Lakeside’s Christmas show.
From concept sketches to story to character design, rigging and environment design, I was tasked as sole animator on this three minute children’s show that made fun use of two huge independently spinning screens, while keeping it engaging with fun and familiar characters in a race to the Finish Line Christmas Tree!
“LEARN TO COOK, YOURSELF”.
Created in a group of six. I created the story and was director and animator for this story of a talented chicken who puts her ‘all’ in to her cooking.
Made as an ident for “Recipe TV”.
