For their spring outing on April 9th, the Manchester-based group of motion designers, animators, filmmakers and VFX artists known as Motion North present two new speakers: Gavin Strange and Vimal Kerketta.

Gavin Strange is an award-winning Director and Designer for the UK’s beloved creative studio Aardman. Working there for over seventeen years, Gavin’s creative output ranges from title sequences to channel idents, short films to Christmas ads and everything in-between. His work is diverse in nature but all held together of a common thread of fun and high energy. By night he goes under the alias of ‘Jamfactory’, indulging in all manner of passion projects, from filmmaking to illustration, music to photography.

Vimal Kerketta is an Indian-born character artist, digital sculptor, and concept artist with over 14 years of experience in the video game, toy, and movie industries. Specializing in lifelike sculptures, Vimal has earned recognition for his exceptional ability to capture human emotions and expressions. His passion for art began in childhood, with a deep fascination for the human face and portraits, leading him to conduct extensive studies on human anatomy and emotional subtleties throughout his career.
