Animade

I always love working with Animade but this was the cherry on the ice cream sundae. Jim Billy Wheeler's directed this summertime short and needed animators who could work with cleanly with native shape layers in After Effects. This method of working was square in the centre of my wheelhouse and the whole film was a delight to animate on.


Beachgoers, Bullies and Birds

All animators on this project did a bit of everything, most of my work was focused on filling the beach with interesting people, but I also cleaned up the pivotal ice-cream theft shot and animated many scenes of the main antagonist. Unfortunately we later redesigned the beach bully so a good few clips ended up of the cutting room floor. Such is life when working in short films!


Picto-pals

Thanks to the Pandemic, my entire time on this film was remote so I jumped at the opportunity to see the film on the big screen almost 1.5 years later at Pictoplamsa in Berlin.
