Richard Shaw

Richard Shaw Animator/Playworker/Youth Worker

I'm a freelance animator, currently working in two schools to gain more formal experience of working with children, with the aim of running creative projects with young people full time.

I've also been a volunteer for five years, running the craft room twice a week at Melody Makers, a parent and toddler group at the Jubilee Centre in Paddock. I also volunteer at their two youth clubs, No Limits and Youth@JC, for primary and secondary school children respectively, where I run a wide range of creative activities.

I mainly specialise in pixilation (animating people, usually with props), but have experience with many other disciplines - stop motion, digital animation, arts and crafts, prop/costume/set making, filmmaking, VFX, hand casting, special makeup effects etc.

Most recently I made a low budget music video for Leeds band, Hope and Social, with the help of some local children.
