      While at Studio Liddell, I was part of an animation team working on a children's TV series called Ranger Rob for Nelvana, Canada. My main role was to animate from a storyboard while also adding my own creative flare.I was given a section of the episode I was working on, roughly 1500 – 2000 frames, and I had 4 weeks to go from blocking to final spline. Throughout the 4 weeks, I had reviews and feedback with my animation team leader.

      During my time in a 3D animation team at Factory Create, I was working on Disney’s Club Penguin: Halloween Panic.I had to animate 3D characters to a storyboard and match up their interactions/movements to pre-rendered stop motion animation, I also took direction from my lead animator. I was working closely with the directors from Disney to make sure the 3D animation produced was exactly what they wanted.

      In this role I was working on a series of 4 short films for the anti-virus software company 'Kaspersky'. I animated characters and props for these films using Maya and 3Ds Max as my primary programs. In this role I was working on a series of 4 short films for the anti-virus software company 'Kaspersky'.
