“Sea Me Now” graduate film

My name is Erik and I’m a soon-to-be graduate animator and illustrator. I work both in hand-drawn 2D and 3D. I have chosen to specialise in 3D modelling, rigging and animation for my final major project, and for my potential career path. I have a passion for bold and stylised visuals and will continue to explore them in my future work in a variety of mediums.

While securing my place in the creative industries, I will continue to work on original projects, in which I hope to create appealing characters, deep worldbuilding and powerful narratives. I hope to work in a studio setting, and to develop my skills in a range of disciplines.

Sea Me Now

A young fisherman is turning into a sea monster while trying to hide it from his curious friend, who may not be what he seems himself.

'Sea Me Now' is a 3D animated short film about change, acceptance, and showing one’s true self to others.
