Marcus Armitage is the latest director to join Film Club's growing roster of animation talent. Marcus has an expressive animation style that blends drawing, painting and mixed media, a style he mastered at the Royal College of Art.
Armitage considers his films to be 'documentary-fiction', pairing his imagination with personal experiences. Marcus draws a lot of inspiration from his 'eye-opening' move to London and the prejudices he's since witnessed or read about in the papers.
Despite being a young talent, Marcus' work has not gone un-noticed, having recently been featured in Directors Notes, where author El Vez personally flagged his film 'Over Dinner' to watch first at this years 'Royal College of Art Animation Show and Tell.'
More recently, Marcus has been featured in Grafik, where he shares his inspirations, industry likes and dislikes and even offers an insight into his own animation process.
