William Oxley - BA (Hons) Animation

Isoptra

My name is William Oxley, and I have a strong love for 2D animation and illustration. Plus Doctor Who, Godzilla and a number of other things, but you probably don't want to hear about that. My main specialties are sketching, illustration, character design, storyboarding and frame-by-frame animation. Both digital and traditionally. I've had a deep love for both animation and illustration my whole life, watching 'The Tigger Movie' on loop as a child will do that to a man.

'Isoptra' is the name of my 2D animated student film. Largely inspired by kaiju films and my love for sympathetic monsters.

'My film ollows the titular monster, a gentle giant who is pursed across the globe because everyone assumes she's evil. After a lengthly escape, she washes ashore on a hidden island of monsters. No sooner than she is welcomed in, her pursuers find her again and threaten to destroy the island. After running for so long, Isoptra finally snaps.'
