Jean-Paul Vermeulen’s Summary

I've been living in London since 1995. I've worked on Feature films, TV series and commercials as Character animator / Director / Story Artist / Character designer.
Over the years I was based several times in the Far East as Animation Director for various British Production/Distribution Houses such as; Aardman Animation Ltd, Uli Meyer Animations, Pointy Hat Productions / Miramax Films, Telemagination, TV Loonland and BBC, just to name a few.

During the last 2 years I've been working most of the time as a Director or Storyboard Artist, which is very creative, challenging and rewarding.
