Stop Motion Animator

I’m a highly experienced stop motion animator, most recently as key animator on Wes Anderson’s film Isle of Dogs. My other feature film credits includes Fantastic Mr Fox, Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride & Frankenweenie & many more.

Previous to that I animated for Animortal Studio making Mike Mort’s stop motion action/horror feature Chuck Steel: Night of the Trampires.

I was a Senior Animator on Oscar winning Peter & the Wolf  (Best Short Animation 2008) & animated for the Oscar nominated My Life as a Courgette (Best Animation Feature Film 2017), I served many years of TV series work including Fireman Sam, Postman Pat plus Shaun the Sheep & Creature Comforts USA for Aardman Animations.

I was also Animation Supervisor on The Magic Piano for Breakthru Films & the recent Club Penguin network specials for Disney.
