During my final year at university I was asked to work on a few films being produced by members of my cohort and a Masters student.

I was asked by the Masters student Martina Klanova to produce some animations for her animation and virtual reality film Panopticon. The animations she asked me to create featured various objects as the subjects of the animations, like a ball of wool unravelling and a pair of scissors ballet dancing. I enjoyed being involved with Martina's project as animating the different objects required me to make use of different techniques to bring the objects to life and I enjoyed being provided with the opportunity to experiment.

Another film I was asked to help on was Niamh McArdle, Anais Kheir and Amy Mulcahy's film titled Meal Deal, whilst working on the film I was asked to help with the fabrication of various sandwich and wrap boxes that ended up being featured in the background of several shots of the film. I enjoyed helping out on the film and having the opportunity to develop my fabrication skills and challenging myself.

Working on a few films during my final year at university was a great way for me to develop meaningful relationships with fellow stop-motion animators, working on these films also allowed me to develop my animation and problem solving skills.
