Lecturer, Animation
Contact details for Louise Harvey
Louise Harvey has been combining her interests in animation production, research and teaching since 2001. After graduating from Griffith Film School with a Bachelor of Animation with honours, she continued her studies to become one of the first people in Australia to earn a Doctor of Visual Arts in animation. Her doctoral thesis - an examination of 3D animation production techniques and principles - formed part of a major ARC-funded study on the topic.
She then spent a number of years working in the Australian animation and film industry, most notably as a previz lead artist on the 3D-animated television series Animalia, and as a visual effects coordinator on Baz Luhrmann’s Australia. In 2009, she joined the Griffith Film School teaching team as a full-time lecturer, specialising in 3D/CGI (Computer Generated) animation and modelling, and supervising the production of final year students’ short animated films.
Louise’s university research is focused on the creation of 3D artworks and short films, which have been exhibited and screened at local and international venues.
