Words from the Artist

I AM HIGHLY PASSIONATE FOR THE CREATIVE PROCESS OF FILMMAKING, ART AND ANIMATION. I MAKE GREAT EFFORTS AND TIRELESSLY STRIVE TO WORK HARD WITH A LOT OF PASSION AND LOVE FOR MY WORK. THE WORK I DO GIVES ME A LOT OF PRIDE AND JOY KNOWING THAT IT WILL CONNECT TO AN AUDIENCE BY PLAYING WITH THEIR EMOTIONS, AND HOPEFULLY INSPIRE THEM. ANIMATION HAS BEEN APART OF MY LIFE SINCE I COULD BARELY WALK, AND IT IS A DREAM COME TRUE EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT I GET TO BE APART OF THE MAGIC AND WONDER THAT IT PROVIDES TO THE WORLD.

Favourite Animated Films (to name a few): The Wild Robot (2024), Inside Out 2 (2024), How to Train Your Dragon (2010), Shrek 2 (2004), Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989), Ratatouille (2007), Up (2009), Wall-E (2008), The Three Caballeros (1944), Bambi (1942), Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Pinocchio (1940), The Little Mermaid (1989) and Fantasia (1940)

He demonstrated dedication and curiosity across a range of tasks and projects including character development, research and providing production assistance for a studio-based shoot. Tyrone has the talent and personal qualities necessary to establish himself as a leading animation professional, and I would not hesitate to recommend him highly to any potential employer.”
