About me

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Martin Hopwood and unfortunately, my showreel is too large to attach to an e-mail so I have included a link to my website where my showreel can be viewed in my CV and I'll include it here too: *

I graduated from Teesside University with BA (Hons) in Computer Animation. Since graduating I have been fortunate enough to find work in studios and as a freelancer. I worked with Back 2 Front animation studios animating the Real Radio Breakfast Bites for Real Radio North East and I was able to work with Dodd & Co. Chartered accountants in Carlisle as a freelance animator. If it is required I can provide references for verification.

While I was in University I spent some time working with Polygon Fiction, Rotoscoping scenes for their film "Dissident Wire" (some of the scenes I worked can be found here: *). While working with Polygon Fiction I was working without pay but I thrived on working on animation as well as the friendly, happy atmosphere with the guys who worked there. I didn't see it as a job so much as it was hanging out with friends while doing something I loved. I thoroughly enjoyed this work and I am also a keen learner of animation packages; while working with Polygon Fiction I had to learn how to use ToonBoom Animate and I also helped with a few scenes with Arcus Studios on their unfinished short "Seeker" working in ToonBoom Animate where I had to learn more about the package.

I currently spend a lot of my free time animating and updating my website while looking for any job opportunities that present themselves.

Yours Faithfully,

Martin Hopwood
