As well as sprucing my website up I thought it would be a good idea to update my animation showreel. It now includes all the animation that I have done this year alongside some other bits and pieces that I hadn't showcased before. This is now living under the animation section of my portfolio but thought I would pop it on the blog for good measure. Enjoy!

As a fun little extra for this project, I'm creating a time lapse video as I stitch so that I'll be able to watch dear little Wol come to life before my eyes. Here's a sneak peek of where I'm up to so far:
