A former graduate in Animation from the Royal College of Art, Iain Gardner had his introduction to the animation industry as an apprentice on Richard Williams’ unfinished Masterpiece The Thief and the Cobbler. (My first professional animation can be seen here - the hoop of fire around 1:22 - 1:32!)

All of his films, as well as his student films, have been screened at International Film Festivals, including Annecy, Edinburgh, Stuttgart and Hiroshima. 
 
Throughout this time, he has lectured on 2D animation at Newport, Edinburgh, Vancouver, Dundee and
Beijing, with his animation techniques discussed in The Animation Bible published in 2008.

He was also the recipient of an alt-w bursary to explore creating animation via mass participation – a video he made to test this idea scored over a quarter of a million hits on YouTube.

Iain was the Chair of the Scottish Animation Group throughout 2008 and was the animation programmer for
the 63rd Edinburgh International Film Festival.
