I’m currently Animation Director at Fourth Wall Animation in Liverpool, where I worked for the last 4 years.
As Animation Director, I had the opportunity to review portfolios, interview animators, and build the teams. I calculated the bid hours for each shot in order to create a realistic schedule, did briefings for props creation and tested them for animation.
I approved BG layouts, approved scene set up shots, briefed animators before the episode started, allocated shots according to their experience level and reviewed animation shots until they were fully approved by directors.
I had daily meetings with production and worked closely with other department leads to improve the communication through the pipeline. Together with the leads, I animated and re-organised the main library between seasons based on the issues and gaps we experienced on S01.
