• Freelance contracted clean-up artist and colourist on 'The Autumn Sea'

  • Apr 2011 - Oct 2011

  Working as a colourist and clean-up artist on the yet-to-be-release short animated film 'The Autumn Sea', I was involved in the clean-up of messily scanned 2D artwork, producing a consistantly high-standard of clean line art across multiple frames. This included the removal of grain, grit and blemishes from the scanned artwork and the use of alpha mattes to produce sharp, clean edges to the linework. I was then employed as a colourist on the now cleaned-up frames, producing a maintained continuity of accurate colouring across many frames of animation, ensuring a well-structured file layout and an attention to detail befitting the professional production and final look of the short film.
