I'm a 2D animator working with hand-drawn and digital cut-out techniques for TV, film and all the bits in between. In early 2017 I launched Toon Boom Trainer, an online training business focused on industry skills gaps. In 2020 this business became Adam's Animation Academy as part of my goal to serve a wider animation audience and improve the learning experience.I've lived in Manchester since 2013, working at CHF Entertainment and Brown Bag Films. My most recent production is a preschool show with Irish company, Mooshku. since launching Toon Boom Trainer, I've worked with universities such as Edge Hill and Manchester School of Art, as well as in-house for studios like King Bee and Aardman Animations. I work directly with Toon Boom on their projects such as the recent Career Camps in Dublin and London, as well as a rigger for hire on their high profile production assignments.In 2012 I worked on a children's TV series in Dublin, Ireland for Geronimo Productions. I used Adobe Flash (now Adobe Animate) to create high-quality character animation whilst keeping to that ever important weekly output (a minimum of 1 minute completed animation per week).With my animation career, I've also completed work for Baby Cow Productions, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Kavaleer, Aon (Manchester United F.C), Chevrolet, Colonel Blimp, Jimmy Carr, BBC, HIT Entertainment and more. Please read my CV for the full details!In 2011 I worked at RMIT Melbourne as their 'animator in residence' and on a hand-drawn feature production (Titeuf Le Film) in 2010 in Dundee, Scotland.

Welcome back to Animator's Breakfast, my monthly podcast. In our second episode I was gifted the chance to watch the original 1964 Jonny Quest tv series by Hanna-Barbera. I'm joined by Dan Nosella who picked the series out of his past and influenced his drive toward comics and ultimately moving across to the Animation Industry. The original Jonny Quest is an incredible programme, a globe trotting adventure to show everyone the wonders of the world outside, filled with science and adventure, very akin to Tintin. Of course it has many issues that really date the show. Dan is the series director on Doc McStuffins currently, and works in Brown Bag Films here in Ireland, I'm very honoured he gave up his time from a busy schedule to meet me and discuss Jonny Quest. You can find more of Dan's work at https://storiesbydan-blog.tumblr.com/ Check it out! Music: Shrug Life - 2009 (shruglifemusic.bandcamp.com/)

In this Directors in Dialogue - Animation Addition podcast episode, Kristina Yee sits down to talk with animator Bronagh O'Hanlon about her craft. Bronagh O'Hanlon a director at Brown Bag Films, the largest animation studio in Ireland. Bronagh was a long time director on the hit Disney pre school series Doc McStuffins. She has recently created and directed her own show, Sadie Sparks on Disney Channel. SADIE SPARKS In this supernatural sitcom Sadie is a typical fourteen-year-old girl whose life becomes anything but typical when she finds out she’s actually a wizard. Okay, technically, a wizard-in-training. She is assigned a magical mentor to guide and train her in the form of Gilbert – a very old and grumpy rabbit. Sadie thinks having magical powers is very cool, but nobody had told her about the small print. High school is all-consuming enough without magic studies! However in each other, this odd couple have found the perfect magical match. https://www.brownbagfilms.com/
