Alexander Long
BA (Hons) Animation
Hi! I’m Alex, an animation graduate from Norwich University of the Arts. I specialise in a 2D animation to After Effects workflow, by animating various independent assets frame by frame and compiling them into sequences with more depth. I’ve always been inspired as I developed my own practice by ‘Gorillaz’, in their ability to create a multi-dimensional world through both their music, characters and animation.
I aspire to become a kind of generalist, as I enjoy all the stages of animation from idea creation to post-production. Throughout my degree I have focussed on developing my skills in sound design, animation, character design, and more recently, 2D special effects.
My goal moving forward is to create animated music videos that feature my own music, taking steps towards creating my own ‘virtual band’ of sorts, as well as developing my portfolio across different animation specialties.
