Character Animation Reel by Alexis Wanneroy
Alexis Wanneroy contacted me asking if I would post his showreel.
How could I refuse!
Alexis is a character animator at Dreamworks and has been lucky enough to work there for 5 years producing animation for How To Train Your Dragon, Kung Fu Panda, Bee Movie and Flushed Away.
He started working in the industry on Valiant after graduating from the Gobelins School in France, with his film Human Nature. I saw the short back in 2003 and remember really liking the style of both the quirky characters and the snappy animation.
Dreamworks new animated feature film How To Train Your Dragon is out in UK cinemas today and will be available to watch in IMAX 3-D
