During the second lockdown, I had the pleasure of working with St Michaels Hospice, to work on a commercial animation for their growing together social programme. Using Adobe Animate and Adobe Premiere pro for this project.

As part of a work with St Michaels Hospice to create a Covid19 infographic animation, akin to something you would see in a doctors office. I used a wide range of new techniques with this animation, using Adobe Illustrator, In design, and Adobe Aftereffects to create and animate each character.

This reel is a collection of work I created during our CGI 3D Animation module during my BA in Animation. Using Cinema4D I was tasked with creating a few simple animations using the physics settings. For the post production of these animations, once rendered in Cinema4D, were taken to Adobe Premiere pro to create the final exports and reel.

My first assignment on my course was creating various basic animations that each demonstrate a principle of animation, at the end of the reel you can see my first final project of the first year. This reel is comprised of animations created using a pencil, animation paper, a lightbox, and Dragonframe. Having a camera set on top of a tripod, I took pictures of each individual frame for each animation. Premiere pro was used for editing the final reel together.

This animation project was part of a module for stop motion animation. We were tasked to get into pairs, and work collaboratively with a fellow student. In this project, I focused on the camera work, project management, editing and animating with my partner. This was a very influential animation, as I found an interest in the abstract style of patterns we used for the hallucinations. We used a camera on a tripod, paper, and Dragonframe to put all of the frames together. I used Premiere pro to edit the full sequence together.

For my final major project of Year 3, I decided to create an abstract animation. Using Adobe Premiere pro and Procreate, I focused on creating a wide range of experimental sequences, and chose the best ones to composit into a full animation. This project was very important to me, as abstract animation had now become a passion of mine.

We were tasked with creating this title sequence, I used Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe After effects. Both Photoshop and After effects were softwares I knew I needed to become more familiar with. The concept of this title sequence was for a thriller series called 'Cannibal church'

As a part of the first year, we were introduced to premiere pro with an editing module focused on creating abstract short films, whilst exploring premiere pro, and its features. This module was very integral to our future practice. As animation students, and creatives. Being able to freely explore Adobe Premiere pro and abstract film was a very interesting part of the course, that I appreciate having the experience with.

Intero was my final major project of year 2. It consists of abstract animation, in time with music. This project was a massive inspiration to me, as I discovered many amazing abstract animators and film makers in the development process. Using Adobe Premiere pro, and Procreate, I created several sequences of animation, using different brushes, colour, and texture to create this final render.

During my final year at university, we were tasked with creating work that went outside of our comfort zone, to further develop our skills. To create this abstract animation for the module, I decided to take a different approach to using Procreate. I used my phone camera, the photo editing settings, and Adobe premiere pro to create an interesting, and different abstract animation to the projects I had completed prior.\n
