About me

I'm Hannah, I'm currently a 3rd Year Animation student at Sunderland University and aiming to make connections within the industry to better my future career chances. My favourite types of animation are stop-motion and digitally drawn 2D, but I have at least some minimal experience using a range of animation styles through my course.

I have taken interest in the idea of doing either freelance work or working within a studio in any area where my skills may be valued. In particular in a studio setting my interests are mostly to do with pre-production such as character design, storyboarding, concept art, and puppet/prop making. I also have some skills in production and post-production such as character animation and editing. Programs that I've used for this include Toon Boom Animate 2, Adobe's Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro & Illustrator CS6, Audacity, and occasionally Pencil Check and Dragonframe.

If I were to go into freelance work I would intend to bring out my own comics that have been slowly in the making as well as doing some independent animation projects. I would also like to possibly offer commissions for artwork, miniature props and/or stop-motion puppets as well as unique jewellery and costume accessories. These stem from my personal hobbies and interests that I am quite passionate about. I'm also interested in music, theatre, languages and voice acting.

I enjoy coming up with unusual and interesting ideas and trying to be as creative as possible with my projects. I am happy to work either alone or as part of a team and take pride in having patience when communicating with team members as well as the instinct to take charge when it is needed. I also consider myself fairly ambitious in always persevering to reach a goal regardless of any obstacles.
