At the age of 10 I fell in love with making short films from LEGO and my passion for set, prop building and animating has grown since. At college I learnt about films and the production process, leading me into University. The art of creating grounded and detailed props and environments fascinates me greatly and I would love to pursue a career in this.
I have a very keen eye for detail and quality which I ensure is shown in my work, I am also very practical and creative. Working in groups at University developed my teamworking skills, along with my problem solving, communication and people skills.
I have worked on 4 films during my time at university which has solidified my painting, making, animating skills and passion I have been developing since young. Learning from industry experienced lecturers was vital in preparing me for industry and ensuring my work is up to the highest standard.
A stop - motion film I am co-directing has improved my team management skills greatly as I have been directing a team of over 10 students ensuring a high quality of work and good time management. This film has also given me a chance to develop my problem solving, set dressing and construction skills to the highest standard I have yet achieved.
An award winning stop-motion short film in which I helped with set dressing and animating. This film was run by a fantastically talented and organized team which gave me experience working in a bigger team and communication with the directors.
A 90 second film I developed a puppet for and animated on. The main skill I developed from this film was my problem solving skills as we ran into a big problem with the materials used for the puppet so we had to adapt and recreate the puppet using new materials.
This film was a live client brief where I experienced working side by side with a client to produce a film that exceeded their expectations, communication and listening was vital for this project along with professionalism.
This was a personal film I developed for college, I created the set, puppet, lit, shot and edited the film and it gave me experience in all aspects and confirmed my dream of becoming a set and prop builder.
