Hello! this is Lucy. I’m an animation artist based in Leicester and a member/logo designer of Animated Women UK.
I’ve been making short films, music videos, intros, trailers and (occasionally) virtual reality with Toon Boom Harmony, Motion and ProCreate.
concept art for Phoenix Square: Classic Moments from World Cinema (2009)
From an early age I’ve been drawing and fascinated with the artistry behind motion pictures. Those passions were augmented with computers, subsequently at De Montfort University where I received a Bachelors degree in Animation Design (2007-2010) and a Masters in Design Innovation (2010-2012).
The logo was born from a tiny ice sculpture
I then formed Creative Cat FX – with support from Seed Creativity, Spring into Action, somewhereto_ and the Prince’s Trust – to write and produce beautiful work. My talents have taken me to the Houses of Parliament, MPC, the Mill, BBC Television Centre and DNEG. In early 2017 I participated in the Achieve programme, a course on strategic career management for women working in VFX and animation; over the years I have built a strong support network of fellow creatives.
Give me a project I believe in, I will go the extra mile to solve problems, independently or as part of a team, to realise a vision. For what exactly? Check out some examples below and here
