Jellyfish was founded in 2001 and since then has grown into one of the leading boutique visual effects and animation houses in London, starting from VFX origins and expanding into TV character animation work. Dennis the Menace! We're thrilled to see our graduates winning positions at leading animation and VFX houses like Jellyfish.  Jellyfish does advertising, television and film work in both London and New York, and have worked on both TV animated series as well as feature films. Henry started out in the 3D Layout department, an excellent place to polish his skills in cinematography and visual story telling, before moving on to the animation department. Henry got his first job after doing a 24 animation test at home, which he described as "pretty full on...I had to stay up until four in the morning to get it done on time".
