WHO AM I?
Belle Eyres
Animation Filmmaker | London, UK
I am a London-based Animation Filmmaker with a passion for storytelling and character-driven narratives. After earning a BA in Animation and Illustration from Kingston University, I embraced a multidisciplinary approach, experimenting with various methods and techniques across these interconnected fields.
Illustration plays a central role in my creative process, serving as a foundation for idea generation, character design, storyboarding, and concept art, which help visualize my final outcomes. Animation became a natural extension of my storytelling ambitions, allowing me to bring life and movement to my characters.
My journey into 3D artistry emerged from a self-taught exploration of software like Maya and Blender. Through these tools, I create detailed models, immersive environments, and compelling characters inspired by my imagination. Currently, I am producing comedic short films featuring "Lucky," a resilient lobster who narrowly escaped the kitchen and now embarks on adventures inspired by the whimsical humor of Looney Tunes and SpongeBob SquarePants.
Alongside my creative pursuits, I’ve gained practical experience working part-time in the live-action commercial and film industry, particularly within the Art Department. This experience has sharpened my communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and understanding of collaborative workflows.
I am excited to continue exploring 3D animation and model-making while pursuing directorial roles in animated projects. My aim is to craft innovative stories that resonate with audiences and push the boundaries of animation as an art form.
