Sarah Elise Nickerson

Animation 2023

Hi, I’m Elise!

Over my time at UWE I‘ve chosen to specialise in production and digital 2D animation. I love working collaboratively and playing my way through design to make fun films with charming designs and vibrant colours. My graduate film “Money For Fish’ is a lighthearted action film featuring animal characters and a lot of run cycles. Like a lot.
