Here is the trailer for the film that I worked on this year. I have been busy sculpting heads, molding and animating with the skilled team down at the Animortal Studio in South Wales. It is a privilege to have worked with a crew who are so respected in the field of stop motion and puppet making.
(None of the puppet/animation work in this teaser trailer is mine as I began work towards the end of production. Once the film is released, I will post images detailing my involvement.)

Here is a small scale stop-motion film I produced during my 3rd semester at Staffordshire University. I produced all puppets, sets, props and animation for the film. The puppets themselves stand 4 inches high from their feet to their head.
This set maquette on an old western saloon was completed in two days for a university project. Made with predominantly foam board and acrylic paint.
I later produced a stop motion film utilizing the maquette. Although wood would have been a more suitable material to build the set with, the foam board served me well enough for this smaller scale project.
This is an animated short I made in my free time at Staffordshire University.
Whilst still only on my first term, I was itching to sink my teeth into an animated short with a three act structure and story. Although it is a rough piece of animation, I consider it a success as it was a four minute film, scheduled and completed on a tight time frame. I had a week of pre-production, 3 weeks animation and a month of working in post-production. The film had over 40 separate shots and 10 setups. Please enjoy!
I am currently working on a personal stop motion film project involving socks. I spent many late nights up at the studio to complete the principal block of filming.
