• Voluntere Puppeter Animator

  Platform Arts Studios

  November 2010 - October 2011

  Platform Arts Studios in Middlesborough

  I volunteered for a film production by an independent director for a speculative movie. Not published yet. My tasks were animating/puppetering a set of characters about 30cm high. We were trained to move the rig according to a metronome in a slow motion within a team of 2-4 people at once. Where one person animated the torso whiles the others the limps or head. Sometimes one person animated both hands and head; combined with a special rig setup. We wore green morph suits for the purpose of removing us from the shot in the digital compositing process. I was praised for my accurate and creative ideas for the choreography while we continued developing the animation style and creating new rigs. This made us to animate the puppets in a fast and efficient manner.
