Background: -
Gary Bendelow has worked in the games industry as a character animator
since 1996; in 1999 he became Senior Animator on the PlayStation ‘Emperors’
New Groove’ & in 2000 as Lead Animator on 2 Harry Potter titles.
He still works in the industry as a freelance character animator but
has also worked on interactive web animation projects where his game
animation skills pay off.
Recently Gary has started to bring his 2d illustration techniques into
3d with a blend of hand-drawn & painted elements.
This offers an interesting, individual, alternative to the sterile look
of much of the current CG market.
