Hello!
My name's Christopher, I currently live in Preston in the UK and I'm an animator, writer and director.
Right from an early age, I've been fascinated by animation and how it can be used to tell an unlimited number of different stories. My passion grew with short animated videos I created with a stills camera, as well as sharing homemade comics on the school playground, and animation has stuck with me ever since.
Today, I use a range of software and techniques - including Adobe Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects and also my own hand-drawn designs - to create 2D animation and motion graphics. My recent work includes various projects in both the UK and China.
​
My short films, including "Tom's Story" and "Together Beyond", have been shown at several film festivals around the world, and are now available to watch online.
