Hello, I’m Frankie, a 23-year-old stop motion animator focusing on miniature scenic dioramas and prop fabrication. I work with physical materials and have gathered experience working in workshops with machinery and tools. My time at NUA has allowed me to develop crucial skills essential to my practice and helped me focus my passion.

I learned essential skills including understanding of scale, working with wood, creating sketches and experimenting with set layout. After 4 years at NUA I’m ready to take the next steps in my career development and hope to hone my skills in carpentry and miniature fabrication.

I would like to continue to train in carpentry and joinery whilst learning about scale modelling and diorama fabrication. My perspective of the industry and myself has changed so much and my outlook for my career is one filled with optimism and a newfound passion.
