PREVIOUS SHOWREEL
This showreel highlights my character animation, but also includes my character modelling and rigging (including those in the thumbnail).
Please ask me for more details.
PUPPETSQUID is my trading title as a CG generalist. My actual name is Jon; I'm from Birmingham originally and am now based in and around Manchester's Northern Quarter.
I mostly work in rigging and animation but have experience at every point in the pipeline, from modelling to compositing, and have been known to branch out into writing, project leading and other mediums such as 2D, coding, and writing.
IT Man Max
A multi-award-winning series of animations for Kaspersky.
In this project I modelled and rigged the supporting characters (including the mini-maxes and Cthulhu!) and animated roughly one third of the series.
3D Print Cup
Overall winner two years in a row, first as a solo entrant (see background) then as the modeler and co-designer in a team entry (see gallery, top right)
5 Ways To Wellbeing
For Rochdale Council.
I was heavily involved at every step of this project; helping write and storyboard, then modeling and rigging the characters, leading the animation and, finally, rendering and compositing the project.
Extraction
Nominated Best Action in The Saxxy Awards 2017
This project was made completely solo in the space of a month an a half. This includes character design (Seek, Fetch, and Guard), modelling, texturing, rigging, animation, script writing, set building, rendering, compositing, and sound and music editing.
