Biography
I have strong traditional animation skills, with 28 years experience covering every aspect of the animation process, and with directorial experience of 2D, Celaction, Flash, and 3-D programmes. I have extensive experience of working well under pressure either as part or leader of a creative team. Over the years, I've worked on productions for Amblin, Universal, Warner Brothers, and directed pilot shows for Disney.
As Director, I have had to liaise with creative teams both in-house and remotely, and with animation studios in Europe, North America, India and Asia, ensuring that quality was maintained throughout all aspects of each project.
I enjoy the full immersion into a project, from initial concept and script, through voice records and storyboards, to cutting animatics, overseeing design and animation, and then music, final mix and assembly.
Also working with my creative team to push the ideas and scope of each project as far as possible,encouraging artists to become part of the creative process, and maximising the potential of each crew member by keeping morale high with a strong team ethic.
And mostly, keeping it all as much fun as possible.
