A Whisper in the Woods
A Whisper In The Woods is a short animated film I am currently directing, along with making stop-motion puppets, stop-motion animation, character designs and post-production work.
This film is set in medieval times and follows the journey of a young girl who finds herself lost in a strange world of folklore. She meets a friendly creature who helps guide her through the twists and turns of the folklore world to help her get home... or so she thinks.
This film is made up of stop-motion puppet animation, 2D rigged animation and 2D frame by frame animation.

Behind the Scenes
WomanHood
WomanHood is a documentary created by myself and 2 of my course mates during the second year of my degree. The animated documentary focuses on what it's like to be a woman in day to day life.
We created a questionnaire for women to fill out anonymously about some of the experiences they have had whilst doing normal everyday tasks, just because they are female.
We worked with the charity 'Women's Friendly Leeds' to help with our research into the matter and get a strong understanding of how big an issue it is that women feel they can't do everyday tasks or have fun without having to worry about what may happen to them because of their gender.

Vanity of The Sea
Role
Director, Character Designer, Background Designer, Storyboard Artist, 2D Animator, Video Editor
Vanity Of The Sea is a film I made independently in my first year of my animation degree.
It is a simple short film about how people have different interpretations on beauty.
It depicts 2 characters based on the Greek mythology figures Amphitrite and Speio, both creatures associated with the sea, getting ready for their day.
I was heavily inspired by Tim Burton's characters for the character design and I researched into Greek mythology which inspired me to create sea nymphs and have the characters be my own interpretation of Amphitrite and Speio
