Steve Kirby here. Animatable is run by myself, with help from a team of talented co-developers.Our tools, tips and resources are used by some of the best studios and animators in the industry, which makes me very happy.We want to empower you to bring your ideas to life, and to save you time and stress. I’m always happy to help animators - whether it’s seasoned pros or total newbies.If there’s anything you want to ask, get in touch! I also offer extended, one-to-one online meetings for more in-depth help.
I love helping other people realise their visions - technically, aesthetically and conceptually.I’ve been working in motion design and animation for over 15 years with some of the best studios and artists in the business as well as countless agencies and clients. I’ve co-developed tools that thousands of people use, and I’ve passionately supported them for years. I’m a part-time lecturer in Animation and I’ve been a long-term mentor to young creatives in the UK. I also have a basic training in counselling skills.
