Welcome

My name is Tim Storrow and this is my online Character Animation portfolio. My showreel and other animations are availible to view below. To see examples of my other art work please click on the tabs above. Images can be clicked on to enlarge.

All my animations are available to view on my YouTube Channel. A documentary following the making of my University film The Two Little Kids can be viewed on my Third Year Blog.

Character Animation Showreel

My showreel was last updated October 2010.

All animation by Tim Storrow. Music: William Tell Overture, by Rossini (Royalty Free).

Treadmill

I created a short animation based on an overconfident power walker trying out a treadmill for the first time. I wanted to practise animating a female character and improve my working speed.

Directed and Animated by Tim Storrow. Andy Rig Created by John Doublestein

Idle Animations

In August 2010 I did a two week work placement at the computer games company, DR Studios, where I created and animated a low poly character for use in the demo version of the studios current game (not yet released). I produced a series of idle animations including looks, crossing legs and arms and breathing loops. The video shows a selection of the animations.

The Power of Television

For this animation I wanted the performance to feel genuine as well as improve my lipsync skills.

Character created by James Hunt. Animation by Tim Storrow. Sound from Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (Season 3 Ep. 14, Tempus, Anyone? Originally aired Jan 1996).

The Two Little Kids

This was my final year project of uni. It is an animated vignette telling the story of a young boy out seeking adventure, but finding a goat. The film has been created in Maya although it is influenced by all medias of animation, especially stop motion and cut-out. A documentary following the making of this film can be viewed on my Third Year Blog.

Directed and Animated by Tim Storrow. Modeling by Susan Bell, Joe Cornell, Matt Evans & Tim Storrow. Rigging by Matt Evans & Jermaine Yip. Storyboard Drawn by James Roy. Texturing and Lighting by Tim Storrow. Music: William Tell Overture, by Rossini (Royalty Free). Special Thanks to my family, friends and tutors for their support.

Bath Time

This is a second year joint character animation project between Susan Bell and myself. A Honey Bear loses his paper boat down the plug hole after his bath. However, when he reaches down to get it he discovers a sewer dwelling Lizard has already found it.

The whole animation is not yet currently available to view online, but I have uploaded a few clips from it.

Directed by Susan Bell and Tim Storrow. Music: Florida Suite, pt III. Sunset, by Delius.

Victorian Set Design

This was my first project using Maya, we were asked to build a set and take a camera through it. I designed a Victorian explorers study.

Music composed by Khachaturian.

Little Red Ridding Hood

First Year University Project to develop a narrative based on the story of Little Red Riding Hood (title pun intended). This was my first attempt at creating a short film and my first time animating puppets. Although the animation is basic I think the story is a lot of fun and I greatly enjoyed making it.

Directed and Produced by Tim Storrow. Costume Assistant Joan Storrow. Set Assistant Alan Storrow. Music: It's A Wonderful World Medley, by The Black And White Minstrels.

Swan Flight

Part of my first year summer Swan project. I wanted to try the more traditional methods of cut-out animation before learning the likes of After Effects.
