Studying Akali

I found this character to be very cute and appealing. So, I decided to study and attempt animating Akali.

What could be more fun than doing a little bit of spinning up in the air and dealing with its gimbal lock. :) 
The rig and character is created by Riot Games.

Raygun raptor

Hello,  

Finally I manage to put this online, been very busy recently. 😅 Here is what I did a couple of weeks ago. I worked on the animation for raygun raptor short-film. 

Here is the YouTube video

Raygun raptor is a kickstarter project started by Treadhead Rad where you can 3D print these miniatures at home. It has been successfully funded and you can find the project here.

Watercolour stuff

What I wish to see when it's safe to go outside. 😅

It all starts with walk and run cycles

Once upon a time there is a t-rex. She starts with run and walk cycles. She might be able to do other activities other than these.



To be continued....

T-rex is owned by Figment Productions.

Messy Goes to OKIDO 2

I worked on Messy Goes to OKIDO 2 last year and it's only now that some of the episodes are on air. 

If I remember correctly only half of the episodes were on air sometime at the beginning of the year and the other half are out now.

I worked on both season 1 and 2. I was an animator in season 1 and I was so honoured that they trusted me to lead the animation team in season 2. 

I am fan of the show and it introduces science to kids in a fun and adventurous way. I thought this kind of show is quite rare. 

Thanks OKIDO! #BBCiPlayer

Go Jetters 3

I worked on some of Go Jetters 3 episodes at Blue Zoo from June - August 2019.

It was fun stuff. My kid loves the show and he was so happy that I worked on the show. 

I will update this page with the shots that I did.

My first episode is Go Jet Academy: Whale Rescue and it's out on #BBCiPlayer

This is for you, Leo. x

Dennis & Gnasher Unleashed: Escape from Azkabash

A little update on my work at Jellyfish Pictures last summer 2017. I worked on the new kids TV series "Dennis and Gnasher Unleashed" for a couple of months. I was responsible for leading a team of 7 people and animating as well.

The show was on air on CBBC early 2018. The episodes (some of them) now are available on BBC i player.

Here is the bit that I animated.
