Phil Willis

I'm a Sydney-based animator currently working in feature film.

In March 2010 I graduated from Animation Mentor - a program that pairs up animation students with professional animators from around the world to guide them through their animation education.

Since then, I've been working on Happy Feet 2.

In my spare time, I run a blog dedicated to animation professionals, students and fans called AnimationIdeas.com

Before my recent career change, I had been a software engineer for fourteen years.

It's given me a great opportunity to work all around the world, including four years in Philadelphia.

But, for the moment, I'm back home in Sydney, Australia.

Work and blogging takes up a lot of my time these days, but in the past I've really enjoyed playing theatresports, reading, playing music, running, writing, playing in chess, poker and Scrabble tournaments as well as making short films.
