Throughout his studies at South Seas Nick showed great enthusiasm and passion for Character Animation, and had a very clear goal of working in this highly specialised area. Thanks to plenty of hard work learning the craft and honing his skills, not to mention lots of time spent animating after hours, he is well on track with his goal. Nick's time with Yukfoo has been extended and we are really pleased with the outcomes he has achieved.  “We are really pleased with how Nick has approached his time at Yukfoo, he has made a lot of effort to learn from our team, put in plenty of extra hours on projects and fitted very well into our team. He's an ideal intern who will fast-track his way into the industry without any doubt.” Learn more about Yuk Foo at www.yukfoo.net Back to News...
