Animated Ideas

Description

For Luke Sawh, Art, Animation and Creative Engineering has been a life long passion. Born and educated in the UK, he grew up with a special interest towards the form and mechanics of the world around him. It was the movie special effects industry that had the greatest impact on his life and would eventually lead him to a career in the entertainment industry. In 1987, soon after graduating, with distinction from Loughborough College of Art and Design, he was keen to apply his talents directly to the industry in order to acquire more technical experience. Within a month he had secured a position as a freelance model and prop maker with a focus on Animatronics and character design. He continued to gain experience in these fields though contracts in the entertainment industry, including Film, TV and theater. In 1992, after being offered a rare opportunity to continue his artwork and creative engineering overseas, he achieved a position within a company in Orlando, Florida, USA. After almost 2 years of service with this company, working on local theme park and restaurant projects, he eventually gained residential status and founded his own business Animated Ideas. Through this business, he has been able to continue creative artwork and use his knowledge and experience to assist individuals and companies in many areas of production. His projects have ranged from shop window displays and concept models to TV props and Theme park attractions. Contracts have also included overseas consulting for animated character development in Indonesia and Italy In 1999, the need for a larger workshop initiated a project that would require extensive research and a deviation from the type of project that he would normally undertake
