A friend of mine who runs a small stop - motion animation studio got a commission for a 2D TV commercial. I’ve tried lots of animation programs over the years but Anime Studio is so easy to learn, takes a lot of the drudgery out of animating but, most importantly, is fun to use. I was immediately struck by the obvious genius of whoever created this software. Of course we now know it as Anime Studio.

Once again I got excited about animating on computer when I came across a piece of software called Moho. I enjoyed that for 10 years until the studio closed.

4 After a stint teaching animation I found employment at a stop motion studio making the acclaimed children’s series Bob The Builder. A friend and I made a film for a UK TV broadcaster in 1997 using this software amongst others. I soon realised the potential of computers for animation when I started experimenting with Deluxe Paint which was a magical paint and animation software that was bundled with new Amiga’s.
Around this time the Amiga computer appeared and made computer graphics, and of most interest to me, line testing affordable. My Mother went with me and, unbelievably, I even got to see a lecture given by Disney animator Art Babbit! A few years later, as a freelancer, I was animating inserts for BBC TV series as well as title sequences and the odd local commercial. At 13 I wrote to Richard William’s studio in London after seeing the amazing A Christmas Carol on TV and was invited to visit them.
That was the start of it all and I was, and still am, hooked. I was fully kitted out and made several short (and very bad) 3 minute animated films using felt tipped pens on punched paper. When I was 9 years old my parents bought me a Super 8 camera and my dad helped me build a light box just like Richard Williams had shown on the aforementioned TV series. In those days there was no video and certainly no such thing as home computers. I still have the book based on the series. When I was a kid there was a BBCTV series called The Do It Yourself Film Animation Show which featured the legendary Bob Godfrey as presenter and had guest animators such as Terry Gilliam and Richard Williams demonstrating their talents.
