This is a short film i made with my friend Sarah Little. The animation was all created in flash and then composited in after effects. The upload is slightly glitchy and the line quality is lost, but for the time being here is 'How to Make a Friend'

Imagine Faithless comp

This is a short piece of animation I did for the Imagine Competition this month. This was done the day before the deadline, so I only had a day to do this. I don't think I will win, but I am happy with the animation. Like normal ignore the glitches , vimeo hates my videos for some reason.

Escaping the Page

This was a piece that I created in 5 hours. It wanted to animated a 2D character entering a 3D world. I tackled this by drawing the animation in 2d and then i cut around the figure on each of the 50 frames, making sure that he was still attached at his contact point. I then folded the cut out section upright so that it popped out of the page. I chose to film it in this way so that you can see how my method of capturing the animation. I really love the concept for this piece and am currently developing a concept for a longer short.WATCH THIS SPACE!
