Shayla Lipyeat

Animated three separate stop motion projects during university, including a title sequence and two different scenes for student films (one Claymation and one cut-out). Worked at 12–24 frames per second to create smooth, brief-specific motion, and liaised with directors and producers to deliver results everyone was happy with. Troubleshot technical issues and worked efficiently with directors to resolve them quickly.

Directed a university year-major project that was greenlit into a short film. Selected and organised a suitable team, assigned tasks, and kept the production on track with frequent communication and smaller deadlines. Provided clear, decisive feedback, helped out across the pipeline when needed, and coordinated with music students to support the project.

Completed 2D commission work for multiple clients over the last six years, delivering art to client-specific briefs and within agreed timelines. Maintained professional quality by using clear communication to prevent misunderstandings and to ensure the final artwork matched client expectations. Managed project follow-ups and ensured work progressed smoothly to the required deadline.
