I have 17 years of experience in animation for children tv shows, commercials, and games. I have been absorbed by managing roles in the past 9 years, as Animation Team Lead first and then Head of Animation whilst working for Gamesys. Throughout the time spent at Gamesys, the team I have line managed has grown from a small group of 4 to 30 and it included traditional animators, motion graphic designers, 3d generalists, character designers, digital artists and Sound Designers. With them I have worked mainly directing the animation of games, tv adverts and promotional trailers for the game launches. At times, I have had a more hands on approach when needed, as I am a traditional animator at heart. I often storyboarded the game trailers myself. I love working with people, I love seeing how they take on my direction and what they bring to the table, I have been lucky to work with incredibly talented artists on my journey so far and I am looking forward to what the future will throw at me. _Website not available.

    uniE608 Cafeteros De Colombia Logo Animation
    The Client was after a quick logo animation to use on top of video in the intro of his clip. Being a promotional video for a cycling club I tried to capture the speed which is what they live for. I also tried to hint to the condor which is portrayed in the Colombian national flag by animating the wings flapping to reveal the blue. 2d animation took me half a day and the after effect work roughly half a day. #animator #2d #2danimation #fxanimation #fx #smoke #wings #particles #speedfx #speed #logoanimation

Here's the concept for my animation. #illustrator #animation #animator #conceptart #characterdesign
