Notes:

Climax:
I have been working as a senior animator on realistic in-game human characters for a third person action game in the London studios.

Independent:
For two years I worked on my own projects. These included illustrations for an ABC book (Photoshop), characters for a website called 'Santarealm' (3DS Max) and my own website:
www.christmastautauns.com
I made an animated short 'Christmas Tauntauns', which won the George Lucas Selects Award in a competition run by Lucasfilm and Atom Films. The short is featured on the Atom Films Website:

It has been shown on ABC's 'Good Morning America' and several times as part of a Star Wars special on the U.S. Sci-Fi Channel.
I also worked on some stylised dinosaur characters.

Sony:
I worked in the Cambridge Studio on 'Medievil II' (Playstation) building, texturing and animating low polygon in-game characters.
For a year I worked as a senior artist on the proof of concept stage of 'Primal' (Playstation 2) building, texturing and animating in-game characters using Maya. This also involved developing morph targets for facial animation and motion capture data collection and transferral.

Eidos:
I worked in the Wimbledon offices on Ian Livingstone's 'Deathtrap Dungeon' (PC and Playstation) designing, building, texturing and animating low polygon in-game characters using 3DS4 and in-house tools. I also made and animated high detail characters for FMV and marketing using 3DS Max with Character Studio and Morph Magic.
I then produced character concepts for 'City of Thieves'.

College:
I studied traditional animation at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design. I made 3 films: 'Mal Voison' a 2D Cel Animation, 'Kingdom Come Freely' a 3D stop motion animation and 'Phallusy' a 2D drawn animation. My work was all character based.

Interests:

In my spare time I enjoy films, video games and creating characters. I try and get to the gym a few times a week.
