Grant Parke Biography
Grant Parke is an Adelaide based animator and artist. He does not enjoy writing about himself in the 3rd person but thought it gave this Bio an air of professionalism. He started animating because he wanted his drawings to move. The earliest shorts 'The Suitcase' and 'Breathe' are made with pencil and paper. Loving hand drawn animation but not loving the 6 months work for 30 seconds of movement, he armed himself with some basic animation software (Pen 2) and a mouse and set out to making his drawings talk as well as move.
His absurdist shorts include the 'A day in the life' series animating conversations had with customers at his place of work. His short 'Come Fly With Me,' about the search for connection after an interstate move, won the SALA Moving image award in 2019. He most recently animated the music video for the song Illiterati by The Man Himself. Description above not from Wikipedia as no listing exists.
