Introduction
Animation at Lincoln is a new and exciting development within the context of moving image, digital visualisation and contemporary narrative; ranging from game artistry, character & creature performance to experimental digital techniques.
"This was an incredible opportunity for me as I didn't really expect to get such a position straight out of university, and particularly on such a high-profile movie! I grabbed the opportunity with both hands. "
