Welcome to MH-Animations

My name is Mark Hancock, I have studied BA (HONS) Animation for three years at the University of the West of England where I graduated with a 2.2. Previous to this I did a G.N.V.Q in Art and Design also a BTEC National Diploma Art & Design where I first created some animation shorts.

Animation and Artwork

I write and produce all my animations as well as making all the puppets and scenery. I also do all the character design and development in my sketchbook and this helps to encounter problems early. I also draw and sell caricatures, this is a side project to keep me drawing and helps with the structure and proportions of people and helps me create some comedic characters.

Models

I have developed my technique in puppet making using aluminum wire to form the armature and also sculpt to produce moulds for casting characters and replacement parts. Molding and making scenery is a huge interest to me, if you have a well made background and objects for the character to interact with, it can transform a performance.
