Interview with animator/filmmaker Timothy Merks
Today’s creative feature is Timothy Merks, a Perth based animator and indie filmmaker. He has a serious number of fantastic short films to his name! And not to be forgotten, the incredible blogs of his 10 plus years of drawing and painting art, web comics, illustrations and animations. Tim’s fiancée Roseline Lau is also in the animation field and they have collaborated on many projects together.Tim’s group won Best Film for their film Waffle at WAM BAM in 2008 — a 48 hour West Australian animation competition.
One the biggest highlights over the past few years, has been the opportunity for Tim and Roseline to produce two funded short films, Existence and Porcelain. In 2004, Existence was a Best Short Animated Film Finalist at the Australian Effect and Animation Festival.
Porcelain is definitely worth a watch. It’s a 15 minute short film, that follows up the story from Existence. Get yourself some munchies and a coffee and enjoy…
