CONSULTING, MENTORING & COACHING
Over the years, I have increasingly been asked to give advice, feedback, and guidance to animators, directors, and creative teams. What started as casual conversations has become something I now make space for more formally, so that I can give my full attention, and you can get the most out of it. I offer:
One-to-one mentoring for animators, model makers, filmmakers and creatives
Portfolio or showreel reviews, creative guidance, feedback, career support, funding advice etc.
Consulting for studios, businesses, and productions
Helping shape projects, creative approaches, advising on pipelines and processes
Because time and focus matter, these sessions are structured and intentional to make sure you receive dedicated, considered input. The sessions are typically online but could be in person if needed and could include viewing an animatic or an edit, giving feedback on a showreel, talking about getting into the industry or how to go about developing and financing short films.
Sessions are usually £100 for an hour. For students, I offer reductions. I understand everyone is working under different circumstances and budgets, so I try to keep things flexible - if cost feels like a barrier, please don’t hesitate to get in touch so we can talk about what might work for you.
If you’d like to set something up, please email me. We can discuss what you need and find a time that works.
FEEDBACK
“It was a pleasure to collaborate with Joseph on this project and above all the script consultation sessions were very useful for the development of the film.”
“I loved Joseph’s feedback for its sense of humor and sharp eye for even the smallest details. His deep knowledge of animation and respect for the medium made our project much clearer — he was a truly valuable consultant!”
“Collaborating with Joseph on my latest animated short film development was an invaluable gift: his thoughtful feedback and sharp eye for story helped me clarify my vision and strengthen the film. Thanks to his view, the script became stronger and far more engaging.”
“Whenever I need a creative outside view on my ongoing film project I really enjoy working with Joseph because he has good taste and a unique sense for storytelling, structure and characters. He also has a huge hand-on experience with the technical parts of animation productions that can be really helpful when thinking about practical side of the project. But most importantly, he listens and asks well for what I’m trying to figure out.”
“The session with Joseph was really beneficial; he highlighted several good points and it was a refreshing perspective.”
“Joseph’s input on my research award from Arts Council Wales was invaluable, giving me a deeper understanding and insight into the process of stop motion animation.”
