Claire Andree
Filmmaking 2023
I am a filmmaker about to graduate, specialising in prop and puppet making as well as production design of film and stop motion animation. I am looking to become an Art director focusing on pre production and team leadership alongside artists. I am looking for jobs such as Art department runner, production design assistant, set builder or prop master. I have worked on numerous student films as well as spent time on feature film sets.
I love weird, mythical oddities which is why I find myself drawn to stop motion set creation and puppetry, because who doesn't like miniature things and talking creatures.
I am incredibly driven and have been working as an events manager at my current job throughout university and am ready for the challenge and enjoyment which comes from working creatively in a team.

Medieval frog town - stop motion animation set
In collaboration with a fellow student I designed and built the houses and shared to build the mountain for a medieval frog town prototype which would be used for stop motion. This was for a specialist practise module (not complete).
Haunted House - stop motion set
This was my first stop motion set build, Although I would change it allot know I came a long way in my building skills throughout this project and thoroughly enjoyed its creation process.
