ABOUT

Hi, I'm Noel!

I'm a character animator specialising in bold, performance-driven work across feature films and VFX.

10+ years bringing bold character performances to life across 15+ feature films at studios like ILM, Meta, and Cinesite. I specialize in performance-driven animation that delivers personality, clarity, and emotional depth to every shot, from creature work to nuanced character moments.

PERSONAL WORK

Animation

A mix of personal animation work and experiments outside of my main reel. Where I explore ideas, push performance and try things that don't always fit into studio projects.
