“Before I realized I loved animation I was focused on the live action film industry. To further my experience, I attended the BFI’s film Academy. Together me and several other students there created a short film that I produced and acted in. After my first experience I attended a residential in Bristol with the BFI specifically for stop motion animation where me and another team made a short stop motion comedy. This time we all did a bit of everything from animating to voice acting. This is when I discovered that I truly did love animating and wanted to try it by myself. So, in my back garden I made a short stop motion film based off the idea of a teddy bears picnic and using Adobe animate created a music video for a pre-existing song.”
