Tim Burton's Corpse Bride  (Animator)




On this production I animated the moonlight sequence (see link below) and Victor & Victoria in the "Bungled Rehearsal" sequence where Victor messes up his wedding vows. I also did various shots when the Corpse Bride emerges and at the wedding among others.

The Tale of Sir Richard  (Story/Director/Designer/Animator)




A film about a brave but ill-fated Knight who wants more than anything to slay a dragon, if only there wasn't a particularly embarrassing problem with his sword.

This short was made very simply using flat wooden puppets on glass. Sir Richard has shown at numerous festivals worldwide and was recently included in the "Shots" Adventures in animation DVD 2006.
