Have you always been interested in art?
Yes, I have always been interested in art generally and I would draw at home.
How did you end up working on animation?
I decided I would learn a new skill during Lockdown and I tried out animation. I worked on a piece of art, I experimented, I worked on the movements of the characters I had drawn and then I taught myself to use Ibis Paint X. I would screen shoot everything and then work on the animation process. .I crop each video to create a movement illusion and I also use VN Video Editor to add sound and assemble it all together.
You taught yourself animation then?
Yes, and when I showed the work to other people they were all pretty amazed by my ability to produce an animated story. I have been working on my animations for about 2 years now and each one takes me a few months to complete.
Do you go to school or college?
Yes, this is my fourth year at SERC – South Eastern regional College in Lisburn.
Do you work on animation at college?
No. this is something I do by myself. I am working on a couple of new projects at the moment and I hope to have new work completed in the next few months
