About Me

My name is Jessie Flynn and I am an animator and filmmaker from Dublin.

When I was 9 years old I got a Nintendo DSi for Christmas. I started to use Flipnote studio and fell in love with bringing my drawings to life. I became set on becoming an animator. I used to play around with animation softwares and mediums as well as consuming as much animation as I could. I pored over animation books and would watch and rewatch the 'making of' sections that you'd find on disc 2 of the DVDs.

I went straight to Animation in IADT from school. I enjoyed all the types of animation we learned - traditional handdrawn, digital, digital 3D, Experimental, After Effects, etc. In 3rd year I made my first stop motion project at home in lockdown during covid.

I love all types of animation but my love for stop motion and experimental animation always creeps up on me. I love how tactile it is and there’s something truly magical about building something with your own hands and then watching it come to life on screen. I'm extremely passionate about story telling and I love to let the story determine the direction of my projects.
