About

I’m Dennis Sisterson, an animator and animation director based in the UK. After studying animation at Southampton Solent University, I began my industry career with Bob Godfrey and went on to work on a range of animated TV series and projects as an animator, storyboard artist and animation director. I enjoy both independent work and being part of a team, contributing ideas from inception to completion, or focusing on animation or storyboarding as required.

More recently I’ve balanced TV animation with personal films and commercials, creating short films and animated ads for various clients. I’m comfortable training new animators, directing teams, and helping shape a project’s look and feel from concept through to delivery, using tools like CelAction, TVPaint, Toon Boom and the Adobe suite.
