I am currently a Production Director for Lunar Animation, but for the first 13 years of my career, I worked as an Animator, Technical Animator and Lead Cinematic Animator. During my time as an Animator, I was lucky enough to work on very diverse projects across TV, Film, social games and AAA games. I've worked for companies and clients of all sizes, ranging from small Indie developers to Large AAA games studios, such as Lionhead (Microsoft), Ubisoft Reflections and Deep Silver Dambuster Studios.I also had experience in technical animation, pipeline design, scripting, recruiting team members, mentoring, project/team leadership, as well as extensive experience in large scale Motion Capture shoots, where I fulfilled numerous roles over a span of about 3 -4 year, such as actor, shoot planner, director, First AD and technical lead.I'm always happiest when my role involves a mix of creativity and free thinking with technical problem solving and planning and organisation. This is why I jumped at the opportunity to move into production with Lunar Animation. My long and varied career in a development role has been a big advantage to me in my new role as a facilitator and lead. I have had first had experience across a number of technical and artistic roles, which enables me to plan, budget and recruit for projects/roles with extra insight that is only gained from having that hands on understanding.I'm always eager to learn, take on new responsibilities and enjoy my job most when challenged.
