My name is Edward Roche and I am an animation student studying at Sheffield Hallam university. I have been interested in animation for most of my life and have spent time drawing since I was a kid. My main interest in art is to create character designs and while studying animation, this is something that I have focused on improving For my short film ‘The Empty Castle’ I wanted to put focus on the designs on the characters, such as in their colour scheme or how their designs may cause them to move.
