BA (Hons) Animation Production

Will Wheatley

Hello! I am a modelmaker/set builder for stop motion animation. I specialise in a number of disciplines including, prop fabrication, historical topographies, environment design and prototyping. Within the showcase, I have included a range of my work from 2D concepts to finished models and stills. 

In contributing to my grad film LAS, I created a series of grey trees and designed tree stumps for many shots. I also included a still of the red 'spirit' tree I made to animate with, curating my experience making posable models. Also included are shots of my diorama of the town of Saint Helier, Jersey to be displayed in the local museum, and my 1:8 scale model of my university bedroom. In second year, I made a 1:9 scale model of a Vickers Viscount 806 airliner to produce a final production still, which is also pictured.

Plans after degree

I plan to start my career in model making for stop motion animation after my degree. I have started freelance work doing historical 3D models to contribute towards my portfolio and I am exploring teaching positions to build my experience.
