Senior Animator

I’m a Senior Animator at Lucid Games, I’ve been professionally animating in the Games Industry for a little over 4 years now. I think the part that excites me most about Animation is developing character and finding ways to physically show different personalities through any movement. That mindset of getting into a character’s headspace has transformed the way I approach animation, I love meeting and getting to know people in real life so I think I’ve just found a way of doing that digitally…

Destruction AllStars: Under the Cat Helmet

Hollie Newsham | Lucid Games

Destruction AllStars may have plenty of cars and explosions, but it is also packed with tons of character and character creation is HARD! So how did we create 16 unique characters, ensuring all of them had their own signature personalities whilst future-proofing ourselves for further additions? Using the “Cat Girl” aka “Tw!nkle R10t” as an example, this talk will discuss our step by step process of creating characters from concept through to launch (and all the fun in between!), the techniques we used to overcome creative blocks and the personal challenges I faced starting the project as an Animator with no experience through to now (4 years on!).
