Between the feature film work we provided opticals and animation rostrum shoots for commercials and model UFO shots for Ridley Scots Pepsi ad. Then I decided to move into animation (my first love) and went to work for Richard Purdum productions. After a period of freelance animation work then I work with Disney on Duck tales the movie a Winnie the Pooh short, (April Pooh) and the series TaleSpin.

Later I did a small piece of story telling animation for the computer game, Cracked Mirror. Needing to move with the times I did a 10 month coarse at St Martins School of Art in Maya 3D animation to learn 3D rather than learn animation I still had to start from the beginning as though I knew nothing about animation. Then I spent time painting murals for kids bedrooms of Disney and Marvel comic book characters while dabbling in Flash animation, when I got work on the Moshi Monsters movie doing effect animation in Flash CC for Spider-eye.
