first animation in 2004 on queen picking her nose
did similar animation in 2009
worked in a office for 2 years and got made redundant as he didn't do anything
became a freelance
bounces around between doing his own thing and being commissioned for jobs
softwares used: photoshop - cutting out photos
and after effect for animating, and his brain for the ideas
he gets his crazy ideas from things he hates, things he likes and horrible things.
Cyriak comes up with strange, demented, good ideas and nightmares
Cyriak lives a very basic life and very much in the now.
doesn't remember two weeks ago and doesn't know what he's doing in two weeks time.
In his spare time he drinks tea, messes about, works on personal projects, sleeps and waits for clients, which he says wastes most of his time!
It's weird to think that animators are just every day people and live very normal and basic lives which doesn't make them superior to students learning animation. I always find it very intimidating by peers and professionals that their talents are far superior than mine, which i feel gets in the way of my work.
I think Cyriak's work is very unique and he's very talented but it's warming to know of his every day life and that he aswell struggles and stresses to come up with ideas at times. This inspires me to go and make a cup of tea when working.
