Creative Lives: Oliver Hamilton, Cartoon Network storyboard artist

After graduating with a BA in animation from the University of the West of England in 2013, Oliver spent four years at Cartoon Network Europe, working on the animated TV series, The Amazing World of Gumball, before recently going freelance. Starting out as a character design assistant, and later a storyboard revisionist, his role sees him work alongside a director to plan episodes. And after reading the script, Oliver will spend up to a week drawing it out as panels that will tell a story. Although studying animation helps with this, for Oliver, studying comedy has proved just as important. ... This episode of Creative Lives was brought to you by Lecture in Progress.
