Sam Hynan

I have a lifelong passion for character animation and creating interesting and fluid movement in my work. I strive to learn new techniques and approaches to animation as a whole and actively seek out opportunities to do so. I am based in Offaly, Ireland.

​

EXPERIENCE:

 

CLEAN-UP WORK EXPERIENCE STUDIO MEALA: Mar 2024 - April 2024 For five week I was thought the ins and outs of clean-up in TVPaint using scenes from Studio Mealas Doodle Girl. I got to get daily direct feedback from the head of clean-up on the production and my work quality quickly improved.

 

LEAD ANIMATOR STUDENT FILM: Jan 2024 - Mar 2024 I oversaw a team of five other animators as part of a short student animated film titled XXXtra Terrestrial, directed by Bobbie O’Neill. This was the first proper production I was ever apart of and the same can be said for the other members of my team, as can be expected not all went to plan, however I gained an immense amount of experience and knowledge from it. I can say I am a better animator because of it.
