Animation
Despite my studies in Animation, it was not until after graduating where I branched out in my animation style and form. During my final year of studies I primarily focused on the process of rotoscoping due to the needs of my graduate piece. Since then however, through multiple commissioned and personal projects, I have begun to experiment with other forms of 2D animation; examples being cut-out and freehand.

My Work
Here are some of my favourite projects I have worked on over recent years. From my degree piece, commissioned work and even passion projects.
I had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with World Poetry Slam champion Harry Baker. Through my work with the charity Going Public, I was tasked with creating an animated production to one of Harry Bakers poems, this was to be played at an event hosted by the charity where Harry Baker was headlining. I chose his poem 'Unashamed'.
​
The visual language he uses, and his fast-paced speech lends itself perfectly to the animated medium.

UNASHAMED

PAGE'S EDGE
(2021)
My graduate film, 'Page's Edge', is a hybrid of live-action and animation where we follow a school boy's drawing come to life and struggle with the confines of the page.
​
Despite winning multiple awards, the two festivals I was most honoured to be selected for were the 'British Short Film Awards' due to its prestige, and the 'Golden Knight Film Festival Malta' due to my Maltese heritage.
​
​
"A brilliant mix of live action and animation. Very clever and well crafted with some great gags. A feel good and inventive watch."
- IndieFilmopolis Film Festival
(2021)
A CHRISTMAS TESTIMONY
This project was made for the charity 'Going Public'. The spoken word, by Meg Probert, explores one's experience living with depression during the festive period.
​
I went with a paper-like texture for all the assets in this project due to the association the material has with that time of year, i.e; wrapping paper, paper hats and paper decorations.

Spoken word: Meg Probert
Music: Paul Trenchard

AN EVENING WITH ROB PARSONS
(2023)
An Evening with Rob Parsons - Intro 1/5
An Evening with Rob Parsons - Intro 1/5
An Evening with Rob Parsons - Child 2/5
An Evening With Rob Parsons - Youth 3/5
For this project I worked alongside the organisation 'Care For The Family', I was tasked with making 5 animated clips to use as transitions during their live show.
​
The event, 'An Evening with Rob Parsons', was a celebration of the life of one of one of the core people of the organisation who was set to retire. Each of the animated segments follow Rob at a different moment in his life.
​
After having seen my graduate film, 'Care For The Family' asked for this project to follow the same rotoscope style as 'Page's Edge'.
Frimley 10:100
(2022)
A commission from the organisation 'Unleadership'; who had been assigned to create a research journal for a social experiment looking at a new form of leading titled 'Frimley 10:100".
​
After our first collaboration in 2021, they returned, tasking me with condensing their extensive research journal, into a short animation that can be understood by the general public.
