A selection of my work from the TV Christmas short Superworm, based on the books by Julia Donaldson. Responsible for all character animation of the shots in colour. Such a fun project to be a part of and I want to thank Co-Director Jac Hamman and my Co-Lead Marthinus Wessels for all their support and creative wisdom!

Hello! This is my second animation assignment created during the Expert Animation Anim Squad course with Frank Abney as my tutor. Wow did I learn a lot during those sessions and I would definitely love to polish this shot more BUT I used it as a learning experience and need to finally share it and wave farewell. Hope you enjoy and thank you Frank for all the incredible wisdom you shared during my time with you.

My very first AnimSquad Assignment with tutor Frank Abney! Thank you for all of your incredible wisdom and valuable feedback, I learnt so much from taking your class. I still have a lot to improve on and will keep pushing myself to be better. Thanks for watching!

Some of my best bits from my work on the Paddington TV series as Animation Team Lead at Blue Zoo Animation Studio.

A selection of some of my favourite shots from working on Digby Dragon Season 2 at Blue Zoo Animation Studio. I learnt so much from working on this project with a great team of people and an inspiring Lead Animator, Dan Cripps, who really helped me to further develop my skills in animation! Quota was around 6 seconds a day. Thanks for watching!

A collection of some of my favourite shots that I animated at Blue Zoo Animation Studio for Miffy's Adventures Big and Small. It has been one of the best projects I have worked on so far, with a great team of people, creative fun stories and such cute characters.

This video shows my recent work on the EA Dice's game Battlefield 1, where I worked on the Facial Animation. I took the Performance Capture of the face right the way through from Tracking and Solving to Final Animation. I had a lot of fun on this project and it was a valuable experience for me in the VFX industry. Please note that the shots in black and white are not my own and are only there for story purpose.
