Hello my name is Ethan! I am an English animator, focused on my mentality to foster creativity. I take pride and joy in watching an idea go from written concept through to an on-screen marvel. Whatever the context, I am keen to be a part of the world/environment building of any project. I am primarily learned in alternative mediums such as Stop-Motion; however, I do possess skills in 3D modelling and 2D animation with a variety of software.

I am looking for opportunities to boost my portfolio and knowledge, through either freelance or employed work. My goal is to work up to an internship with a studio that deals with physical production in the creation of immersive worlds through props, sets, character costumes or prosthetics. As long as I’m building something with my hands, I’m happy.


My short film The Package is based on the struggle of a space courier as he is forced to complete a lost delivery to a client at the bottom of a cave. The journey is relevant to the sometimes aimless and resistant path I and many of my peers have found ourselves in – trying to figure out the way forwards. However, I wanted the film to be light hearted and mainly be a showcase of set design and character building, with a funny gag at the end.

There is little in the way of plot or deeper meaning besides a courier making a delivery, but I am happy to present a film that will engage the audience and showcase my passion for building something from scratch, using any tool and material at my disposal.
