My Role: Stop Motion Animator

​

In my second year of university I had the privilege of animating on Léo's undergraduate film, 'The Happy Pig Brand'. I was able to spend a few months before production testing the puppets, understanding the style that Léo wanted and feeding back any improvements for puppet fabrication. I got to animate up to five characters at once and multiple shots using motion control. The film is about to enter the festival circuit, and I am excited to share more about the filming process in the future.
