About me

Good afternoon,

My name is Matt Bayfield, last year I graduated from the University of Lincoln with a BA 1st class hons in Animation. Since this time alongside the inevitable hunt for work in the film or animation industry I have been working as a freelance motion graphics animator & storyboarder for a small-scale independent advertising firm in Manchester, working as an Editor, columnist and reviewer for online independent music magazine Bearded (*) and, most frustratingly, working full-time as a Geologist & Soils Analyst for the offshore survey company Fugro Alluvial Offshore Ltd.

It is very much my ambition to work in the field of design or animation, ideally in London, full time and your adverts manages to cover both those disciplines in one job, which is most fortunate. Attached are some examples of my sketch work (all of which are done in biro then the lineart cleaned and coloured on Photoshop)a small assortment of my 3rd year project concept sketches and my 3rd year final assesment music video. This was created with a blend of live action footage (shot by myself) 3D animated characters (all of which I designed, the majority of which I modelled and animated) Photoshop composite backgrounds (painted by myself) and additional effects such as explosions, smoke etc composited in AfterEffects (again by myself)

If you have any further questions or would like to see additional examples of my work please do not hesitate to get in touch via the email address provided. Alternatively if you fancy a brief chin-wag I can be contacted on . Please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Kind Regards: Matt Bayfield
