About

Mary Mayo

In my final year of study, I specialised in Storyboarding and 2D Animation across several projects. For short film B3 I was the lead Storyboard Artist as well as 2D Animator and Compositing Artist. 2D Animation and Generalist work was produced for Hero's Spirit, 2D Animation for Astray and Storyboarding and 2D Animation for TV Dinner.

Throughout my degree, I have focused on story and learning pipelines across disciplines including to develop Producer skills. A fun dissertation topic explored Science Fiction and Genre Theory through analysing Star Wars movies!

Personal Projects included Storyboarding two short films and horror game trailer SubRosa. The Deermother short film follows the titular character as she endeavours to bring light and warmth to the earth, loosely inspired by related folklore. Cuppa Jo meanwhile is a comedic and wholesome slice of life piece about what it's like to have a cat.
