We want to shine a spotlight on some of the amazing freelancers we work with. First up, we caught up with the animator behind some of your favourite Braw projects: ๐ญ๐ผ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐.
Tell us a bit about you and your work
Iโm a freelance animator and illustrator based in Glasgow, although Iโve recently started labelling myself as an artist too! I primarily create 2D explainer videos using vector-based illustrations, but over the past few months Iโve been experimenting with collage and incorporating found textures into my work.
Whatโs your favourite Braw project youโve worked on?
Iโve been very fortunate to work on a number of projects for Braw Talent, so itโs hard to narrow it down. One of my favourites has to be Same Shoes, a video for St Maryโs Kenmure.
It was one of my favourites because it pushed me outside my comfort zone in terms of character design, animation and framing shots. Darren and Lydia always put their trust in me and guide me to create work that Iโm proud of.
What does your working day look like?
As a freelancer, no two days are the same. Sometimes Iโm at my computer all day, forgetting to eat because Iโm so engrossed in a project. Other days could be very quiet, and youโll find me away from my desk wandering around charity shops or giving my flat a deep clean haha!
What is your top tip for someone who wants to pursue a creative career?
Donโt hold back and just go for it. In a world of increasing AI use, we need more creatives who are passionate about what they do. Also, if you are just starting out, donโt let the fear of failure hold you back from doing something you love.
Tell us something people donโt know about you?
Iโm a self-taught animator!! My degree was in Communication Design and I spent my final year at art school teaching myself how to use After Effects. Iโve been doing it for seven years now and I still have so much to learn...
