Project overview

When I joined Ninja Theory as an animation intern I never dreamed that I would get the chance to work on the series of one of my favourite games.

Who knew the opportunity would come to me in the U.K? I always thought that I'd have to move to Japan or something. When I got the news that a new Devil May Cry game was being developed at the studio I knew that I had to get on that project or forever kick myself for missing out.

As it turns out everything went fine and I got to work on the game throughout it's entire production cycle. I learnt an incredible amount on this game and it was such a great experience for the development of my skillset as an animator.
