I did my BA in Digital Film Production at Ravensbourne. As one of my projects while I was there I made a short film based on Shakespeare’s Sonnet 1 and the story of Echo and Narcissus. It was my first experiment with hand drawn animation. (examples of this work are the ones with the purple background)
I later went on to use the same techniques (and even reuse some of the same drawings) in my final film, Byrd. A film inspired in part by the children’s illustrators, Quentin Blake and Chris Riddell, and the painting ‘Death of Chatterton’ by Henry Wallis. I also experimented with rotoscoping on this project. (examples of this work are the ones with the black background)
