- about

Sam is a Character Modeller from Scotland. For the past 5 years Sam has been working on feature films such as Clash of the Titans, The Chronicles of Narnia - Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Harry Potter.

Other than 3D, Sam has a great interest in the traditional mediums like drawing and sculpture. When he finds the time, he loves to create his own work and try things that he would rarely get to do in the studio.

Sams goal is to work in a fun, creative environment where he can help create amazing creatures and character for the entertainment industry.
