ANIMATION

Although I'm a capable character animator, pre-production is what really excites me! I like to use bold colours and strong linework to define my story worlds.

Some wacky ideas all in one place!

Project Porco

Project Porco is a non-profit, collaborative animation experiment in which animators of all levels and nationalities worked to re-animate a scene from the beloved Ghibli film, Porco Rosso.

The project took place over roughly five months, in which 45 out of 46 clips were re-animated by various participants. The result was a stunning remediation of the original Ghibli scene - showcasing the skill, diversity, and comradery within the online and international animation community.

The project aimed to build a positive community in which animators could learn from one another and share their skillsets, while also working towards a common goal. Having never seen something like this before (and feeling inspired by game jams), Eric Gardiner and I worked together to develop the project, manage its logistics, and build a safe and welcoming community of talented animators all over the world.
