MEET THE TEAM
Claire Richardson - Online Editor.

“Having been in the industry for over 20 years, I’ve worked in every area of Post-Production on many formats, ranging from Commercials to Documentary,
Reality TV to Film, but my heart is definitely in Animation as an Online Editor/Colourist.

It is so refreshing working for a company that creates children’s shows from start to finish; allowing me to be part of a team that is involved in development all the way through to delivery. Watching the shows grow from script through to animatic, shooting in studio to offline edit, then comping, VFX and grade to give the final look, is incredibly satisfying. Grading is definitely my forte; I revel in being able to emphasise or even completely change the look and atmosphere of a scene or show.”

DID YOU KNOW...
The episode of Clangers 'The Sound Snatcher', the character took a long and lengthy process to be developed and created. The theme was 'mosquito/bag pipes mixed'. So Art Director Jamie Stockley: Doodles and Murals got to work straight away and created the cute character. Hitting the brief we say!
Fun fact - the Sound Snatchers bag pattern is labelled as 'Cornish Tartan'.
