I am Lauren McFarlane and I am in my final year studying Animation BA at Sheffield Hallam University. I am 22 years old and from Leeds.

 

I have loved animation ever since primary school when I created my first stop motion animation. Since being at university, I have loved learning the different aspects within animation, but since being little, my dream job would be to work for Disney doing 3D Animation. Which why I chose to create a 3D animation for my final project. This is called My story.

 

My final animation is about a teenage girl struggling with bullying while she is at school. The story goes through her life at high school and shows what her life is like to be bullied and what the bully has done to her. It is based on someone's experience on bullying and was polite enough to tell her story and how it has affected her now.
