SPOOKY DOLL KIDS - ANIMATION:

In 2003 I was accepted into the CADSA program. This was a program that sought to bring together fledgling animators around Perth, and encourage the local production of animation and short film.

I met Roseline Lau there, who had an idea for a stop-motion animation piece, and it sounded like so much fun that I quickly joined her and happily became her right-hand-man (or gal, as it were). My role mainly consisted of set-building and model-making. I also contributed the voice of the main character, as well as animating, the music and final editing. We spent over 7 months on it, to come up with 7 minutes worth of animation, but it was worth it, and I would do it all over again!
