From 2005
My very first job I worked on in animation, more than 10 years ago now.
Both directed by Sylvain Chomet.
I did the assistant animation, inbetweens, and some animation for both.
Soon after finishing these, I started working on 'The Illusionist'.
'The Clan'

'The Illusionist' blast from the past
I found the DVD of this Japanese programme during my end of the year cleaning. Seeing it brought back many memories of working on 'The Illusionist'.
Here's some of my work on the film.
It's hard to believe that I started working on this more than 10 years ago. Looking at my animation now, it's embarrassingly bad, but hey, at least I know that my skills have improved.
