Bio
David Barton
Talib worked with us for 4 months on a AAA next-gen video game project, he brought a great deal of experience and skill with him and that enabled him to slot into our team with ease. He always applied a high level of self-critique to his shots meaning that we hardly ever had to iterate on his work, this was a real strength for Talib making him a pleasure to work with.

I worked with Sarah and Talib on an animation project in 2010. It was a real pleasure to work in their studio, not only because of the high standard of work and professionalism, but also because of the welcoming and friendly atmosphere. They maintain a high level of quality and motivation and can apply a depth of knowledge that has clearly been gained by working for top clients such as Nickelodeon. Their range of skills, including 2D drawing and animation, traditional modelling and 3D modelling and animation, mean they can cope with a wide range of projects and tasks. I would heartily recommend them to potential clients or anyone considering working with them.

My role is to oversee the creation of online training program for companies, that are heavily animated using 2D techniques. This starts from early concepts through design and character design and animation to delivery. As senior animator I am also the first port of call for the team of juniors in the studio. To provide guidance and expertise throughout their projects. My role is to oversee the creation of online training program for companies, that are heavily animated using 2D techniques.

I have recently finished working in-house as an animator using 3D Studio Max for a commissioned series of Cloudbabies broadcast on Cbeebies. Duties include receiving shot allocations from supervising animators, and interpreting the designated shots to the required standards and ensuring continuity is followed and shot quality is maintained. We worked to a very tight schedule and I was animating 45 to 55 seconds per week/per episode.
