Scribbles

Some scribbles:

Here are some character design for a short 2D film I'm working on. The premise is that one of the characters is trying to get on with his everyday life, but is trapped in a children's television show. More to come!

Here's a few photos from Interfilm Berlin Festival (13th-18th November). I'd never been to Berlin before, it's a beautiful city. 'Merfolk' was played at the opening ceremony, and twice as part of the 'Confrontations' programme. It was a great experience having my work shown on the big screen, amongst such amazing films.

Festivals and Jobbies

I thought I should update on what I've been doing since I got back from my travels (I should probably post more often).

Firstly, my film Merfolk won best animation at Purbeck Film Festival, which is awesome. Unfortunately I didn't get to go, but it seems like a really cool little festival, and I am very grateful! 

It also got accepted in Interfilm Internation Short Film Festival in Berlin. I'm going there tomorrow to see it and plenty of other awesome looking films, so I will keep you posted. It's in competition too so wish me luck!

Also, for two weeks in October/November I was lucky enough to work as a runner on a short stop-motion animation for Sesame Street! It was a Blink production directed by Sumo Science (who did the Nokia ads 'Gulp' and 'Dot') and was great to get experience on a professional stop-motion shoot, having worked primarily, so far, in CG.  I met some awesome people who had worked on Chicken Run, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Frankenweenie and had a sick time.

At the mo I am working on a couple of different projects that I will share soooooon, applying to festivals and continuing my quest for some kind of employment! I'll stick my showreel here for you to have a looksie.


Any way, I've got to pack for Berlin. Cheerio x
