Experience

• Lecturer: 2D Animation at Falmouth University

  Falmouth, GB

  September 2019 - March 2021

  I taught 2D animation techniques using TV Paint to the 1st year, life drawing to all years, and mentored 2nd year animation projects. I loved it.

• MA Student (Digital Film Making) at London Guildhall University

  London, GB

  September 2001 - September 2002

  I studied for, and secured, a Master of Arts in Digital Film Making. I made short films using Flash, After Effects and 3D Studio Max. It was around this time I discovered Blender (before it went open source).

• Flash Animator at Harcourt

  Oxford, GB

  September 2000 - September 2001

  I made a lot of interactive Flash games for the DART Maths project.

• Interactive Designer at Cognitive Applications

  Brighton, GB

  June 1996 - May 1998

  I designed and animated interactive content for museums and art galleries, mostly using Flash but also Macromedia Director. What a job, I absolutely loved it.

• Shop and Office Worker at Various

  London, GB

  May 1987 - September 1996

  I left school not knowing what I wanted to do in life. But I did love London, so I moved there and got a series of low status, low paid jobs. After all kinds of adventures, I bought myself an Apple computer (a Performa) and taught myself animation with Future Splash Animator. That was the start of it all.
