A Bit About Me...

Hello there! My name is James McDonald and I've been animating since I was in primary school! Born and raised in High Wycombe and now living in Bristol, I'm in my late twenties and in the summer of 2020 I graduated from the Bristol School of Animation at UWE (University of the West of England) with a First Class Honours Degree in Animation. I was also President of the UWE Animation Society.

​

Since graduating, I have spent my professional time split between working as a contracted Compositor & Junior Editor for Sun & Moon Animation across 4 projects, including the award winning Maddie & Triggs, and completing freelance work for a number of clients including Bristol Pride, the Somerset Football Association, and the Royal Grammar School in High Wycombe.

​

Outside of animation and design work, my passions include swimming; designing and playing Dungeons & Dragons campaigns; Queer Literature; Urban Design; Science Fiction (Notably Doctor Who); and Musical Theatre
