  Ianimate Creature WorkshopiAnimate.net is an online animation school. Currently. I'm in the middle of the Animal and Creature Workshop. These workshops present a focused study of animal and creatures animation. Guided by veterans from the industry, these workshops consist of live lectures, assignments and reviews tailored to develop body mechanics skills and animal behaviors knowledge. As part of the workshop, I've chosen to focus mainly on animating a panther, as it seemed one of the most challenging animals to animate
• Red RockAs part of my BA, we had to produce a group project. I was in charge of designing, modelling, rigging and texturing the main character.
• Don't Forget MeAs part of our MA, we had our very first client work for the Old Operating Theater Museum. The Theater wanted to engage with a younger audience, and so commissioned us to produce a short one minute animation, to be exhibited at the museum next to various objects from VIctorian London.
