SIMON’S CAT
Simon is an English animator who has a great interest in British wildlife, he started animating at a very young age by drawing on flip books trying to emulate the techniques he saw on screen.
Simon has four cats who inspire him in his films. All the sounds in his films are real life sounds made by himself and his cats. The sound is edited by a friend of his called Scrooty.
He uses Flash and animates his films in a traditional manner, drawing frame by frame. It usually takes between 12 and 25 drawings to create 1 second of a Simon’s Cat film. He uses a Wacom tablet and stylus to draw.
Simon also publishes children’s books. Called Simon’t cat.
He sells all sorts of accessories in the US and in UK with drawings of Simon’s cat.
He also designed apps for iphone with a game called “cat chat app” and one called “puurfect pitch”.
