Jane Abernethy

Hi! I’m a Software Engineer and Stop Motion Animator.

I have 14 years of experience as a Software Engineer, specialising in iOS and frontend development, and recently took a sabbatical to explore my passion for stop-motion animation.

In 2024 I was selected to undertake the Aardman Academy’s “In Studio Stop Motion Course”, where I directed and animated my first animated short - “Guts”. “Guts” has since been selected for two BAFTA Qualifying Festivals: London International Animation Festival where it was shown in the British showcase and the Brighton International Animation Festivals as part of the “New Generation” programme.

Contact me via email, instagram or LinkedIn.
