John C Hedley - Freelance Digital Animation and Graphics

I'm a freelance digital artist specialising in 3d character animation, working remotely or onsite as part of your team.

If you'd like someone to bring your thoughts and ideas to the screen, lets talk about it.

"John is a very accomplished animator who can adapt to any style. He is a real artist who pays great attention to his craft. Above all else, John is a great mate with a calming aura surrounding him. I would not hesitate to recommend him and I only hope that one day we can work together again."

David Fleet, CEO Untold Studios

John has worked with us on a few of our projects. He is passionate, hard working and, most importantly, a very good character animator. He is a real contributor. Hands off!"

Morgan Powell, Director Seed Animation

John quickly became an integral member of our production team. He was brought in as an animator, but proved himself equally skilled as a compositor, special effects artist and director. He is my first port of call if I want something doing on time and well."

Jon Turner, Director Kilogramme

I would recommend John to any company for any animation project, he's a genuine, hard working, fun person to be around and cycles too which is cool. Look forward to when he can join us again at Studio Liddell.

Ian Liddell, Director Studio Liddell

Animation content in this reel has been done by myself unless otherwise specified- most modelling, texturing and some effects are by other parties.

Some other little bits and pieces that arent in the current show reel, in no particular order. Some of them are pretty old now! ie my student film DADS, from 2000.

I use a few pieces of key software in day to day use- mainly Maya, After Effects, Photoshop/Affinity Photo and a few others to fill the gaps and some relevant plug-ins too.

I mainly work from my home cabin, or freelance on-site in companies for working with larger pipelines.

I predominaantly work on a day rate basis whilst working on your project. From your first enquiry, we can see what fits best for you.

My home studio cabin is in Todmorden, West Yorkshire where I do all my remote work, and also regularly work on site with companies in Manchester. Presently my only contact means is via email- I promise to reply quickly though!
