I can help you with progressing to the next step of your career, or help professionals get fewer notes and animate faster!
Whether you're a TV animator looking to get into feature films or a student looking to break into the industry for the first time, I can help you develop your showreel and get you to that level.
We'll cover solutions for those notes that everyone gets - how to push poses without going off model, weight and floatiness, lipsync and polish and everything else.
We can also look in depth at different animation workflows, stepped blocking vs layering in spline, splocking, and when and how to combine them.
Lessons are relaxed, not formulaic and really based on what each student needs to work on.

I have worked with Nick on some projects in the past, and recently have been getting tips from him to improve my skills. What i love most about Nick, is that not only does all the feedback he give to you make sense. But he has a particular skill for identifying issues that consistently pop up in your work, and will make it known to you, and in a way that isn’t derogatory or disrespectful but polite, engaging and interesting. He has a great technical ability and I would recommend him to anyone, whether they are new to the animation world, or an experienced animator looking to upskill, I will continue to get coaching from Nick now and into the future
I had the pleasure of working with Nick at Illumination Studios Paris for several years. He has a wealth of knowledge spanning various formats of animation, from fast-paced, high-quota series to high-end feature films. Nick is easy to work with and has a great sensibility for acting choices as well as controlled and appealing movement. One of the top animators around, he's got a great eye for detail and will certainly help you take your animation skills to the next level.
Nick is an amazing animator but better than this he's a brilliant human being.
Countless times he has been able to create something great despite the obstacles and challenges.
He's a great listener and he's very patient with care for people, I'm very lucky to have worked with him and i can't wait to have another gig alongside him.I've worked with Nick at Illumination for a few years now and can vouch for his impeccable animation level and eye for detail. He's also a lovely bloke, thumbs up from me :)
