Summary
I am an experienced Storyboard artist and Storyboard Supervisor with over a decade of experience and clients ranging from UK based 2D flash shows, to international CGI productions. My primary focus is on high end video game cinematics and dynamic action, but I also have a great amount of experience in TV animation shows.
I place a strong emphasis on posing, action direction and staging in my work, aiming to strike a strong and clear balance between fun, character, action and story.
I am currently obsessed with blender Grease Pencil and 2d 3d hybrid boarding.
