Experience
Stop-motion Animator
Jul 2013 — Present · Portland, OR, US
In my view, feature film Stop-Motion animation is located somewhere between a highly technical craft and creative stage performance. As Stop-Motion Animator on feature films you are constantly balancing quality and quantity under the pressures of production. You need to be able to follow directions precisely, whilst bringing into the performance a lot of individual ideas and emotions. It\'s creativity inside a tight framework under pressure. It involves a lot of stress, individual decision making, problem solving and frustration, but it can be incredibly rewarding and fun too.
