About
Hello! I'm Hannah, an Art Department Trainee for TV and film. Alongside this, I am also an illustrator and graphic designer with a love for all things history. I graduated from the University of Brighton with a first class BA (Hons) in Illustration. My other previous training includes the BFI VFX residential course, where I worked on a collaborative short film, and Annie Atkins' 'Design for Filmmaking' course, where I travelled to Dublin to learn the art of creating graphic props. I'm particularly eager to work in graphics, but I'm happy to contribute to any and all areas within the art department! I have a full clean UK driver's license and a car (23+). I'm currently based in Essex and Surrey, available to work in and around London. Take a look at my portfolio to see if I'm the right fit for your next project! https://www.hannahwestall.com/

Workshop: Graphic Design For Filmmaking
On this course, I travelled to Dublin to learn how graphic props are made for film and TV. From this, I learned the foundations from which to create my own graphic prop projects, and got a good overall understanding of the art and graphics department. This included script analysis, legal considerations, and how different roles in the department collaborate.

Course: Animation and VFX
On this week-long residential course, I collaborated with a team to create a short film where I played a key role in design and project management. During the course, I also attended and contributed to idea pitch sessions, developed my animation skills and received guidance on how to work as a freelancer. This experience has overall helped me improve my collaboration, communication, research, and analytical skills.
