Tom Hillenbrand

Tom Hillenbrand runs animation workshops aimed at those who wish to learn traditional animation techniques in a fun and stimulating way, using both modern technology and camera-free techniques.

He studied animation at the University of Humberside in the early 1990s as part of a Graphic Design degree. Working as an animation demonstrator at the Museum Of the Moving Image (MOMI) acted as a springboard to leading workshops and giving lectures as part of MOMI's Education department.

He has gone on to develop various animation, video and graphic design workshops for a wide range of clients and educational organisations teaching students from 6 to 18 years old, young people with learning disabilities and family groups.

Tom draws from his experiences working as a voice-over artist, 3-D model animator, scriptwriter, storyboard artist, character & set designer and stand-up comedian in his teaching practice.
