Alan Barber

Lead Animator

Alan has been animating in the Games Industry for over two decades! Based in Leamington Spa, he can usually be found in the office, where his considerable height makes him easy to spot. When he’s not animating, he’s likely enjoying one of his other many talents — whether that’s football, pool, darts or pitch and putt. He’s also a lifelong Liverpool fan (eh…can’t win em all)

Outside of work, Alan is a big fan of classic Pixar films, FPS games and LEGO, and is kept suitably busy by his two kids. He’s particularly fond of building things – so if you’re looking for any DYI doing, he’s your guy!

Ana Fabiani

Mid Animator

Originally from a small town in Slovenia, Ana started her career as an illustrator, but felt her true calling in bringing characters to life! After graduating from Animation Mentor, and getting featured in legend Jean-Denis Haas’s Animation Minute along the way, she applied to us and we were very quick to snap up her incredible talent!

When she is not animating, you can find her drawing, playing competitive video games, watching Lord of the Rings (for like the millionth time), or running her own Doggy Daycare Centre.

Aron Durkin

Co-Founder | Lead Animator

Aron is the switchboard operator of problems and solutions. A veteran game dev but defies the laws of ageing, a mixed skill set of creative and technical, a unicorn among devs. With a Steam backlog of 200+ games he clearly works too hard.

Co-Founder of Super Spline, BAFTA Games Awards Animation Juror 2021, father to a fur baby, just trying to stay alive until his “Hawaiian Shirt Friday” collection reaches 52 for one a week (he’s at 26 now).

Dan O'Reilly

Technical Animator

Since graduating from Edinburgh university Dan has delved into all things rigging and python. Following studying at AnimSchool, and being a Leamington Spa local, working at Super Spline was an obvious choice. Outside of office hours, you can find Dan sculpting, cooking or replaying Sekiro for the 40th time.

Eoin Loughrey

Director | Lead Animator

Father, Footballer, and Survivor fanatic, Eoin, started out at Blitz Games- bringing charm and appeal to characters such as Donald Duck, Puss in Boots and the infamous Jack Slate. He then lead the animation on the horrendously violent remake of Shadow of the Beast before finding his way to Super Spline.

Eoin has children – he does not have spare time.

Jack Tondeur

Lead Animator

When Jack isn’t carving up ice on the rink, he’s carving up splines in the Graph Editor. A lover of all things TMNT, including pizza, shouting Cowabunga when Maya crashes, and a fear of paper eaters….you can’t call them Shredders! When he’s recovering from smashing pucks he likes to delve into immersive sims and CRPG’s, currently battling his way through Balders Gate. With the addition of his daughter Mabel, Jack has his hands fuller than Michelangelo on a BYGOF night.

James Childs

Co-Founder | Lead Animator

James or Jim, you decide. Co-Founder of Super Spline. Father. There ain’t no spline that won’t get fiddled with when he’s in the animation chair. A culmination of experience of games and TV, he’s the actor of the company. “Born to lead, not to read” and lover of Arnie, Harleys and Tattoos, he’s part bro part nerd, a dangerous combo amongst social gatherings. The only thing that would make Jim happier than splining his own TV show, is starring in the UK remake of Sons of Anarchy.

Lisa Murray

Senior Animator

Lisa, a graduate of iAnimate and puppy enthusiast, joined as an intern animator and was quickly promoted to full-time having impressed the whole team with her mad splining skillz and technical proficiency! She has already lost count of the amount of titles she’s worked on since joining in 2019.

In her time off she enjoys travelling, bashing around a shuttlecock and riding Llamas.

Lucy Fox

Mid Animator

Lucy, another graduate of iAnimate and self-professed massive Nascar fan, joined our team as Junior Animator in early 2023. Though early in years, her knowledge of all things Star Wars is colossal – rivalled only by her quick wit and meticulous attention to detail in her work. 

Every now and again she reminds us how she was top of the Wii leaderboard for Mario Kart at 4 years old. Her passion for cosplay also keeps us guessing as to who is going to walk through our office doors each morning…

Luke Clark

Mid Animator

Starting out as a hobbyist animator making silly, short animations on YouTube, Luke is now an experienced animator in the World of Games and TV.
Away from his screen you can find Luke either, hanging out with friends, going to Alpaca farms, attempting to learn French (again), or rewatching Taskmaster (again again).

Marcin Jednachowski

Senior Animator

Marcin has been an animator in the games industry since 2019, enjoying the process of learning fresh techniques and gaining knowledge from his talented colleagues and various animation schools. An avid runner and LEGO enthusiast, he enjoys competing in races and building intricate models.

When not animating or running, Marcin is gaming—both casually and competitively, especially in high-stakes Pokémon matches. Sometimes, he even turns his LAN parties into mini-movie projects, capturing the best (and worst) moments for fun memories with friends.

Maria Madsen

Junior Animator

Maria joins us from Denmark, where she graduated from The Animation Workshop, and is our newest junior animator. Her interest in animation was sparked by her love of anime from an early age – which is evident through the amount of style she possesses!

Away from work, Maria will probably be found somewhere in the great outdoors – either putting her green fingers to good use or taking pictures of her amazing surroundings using a traditional film camera. 

 

Matic Perčič

Senior Animator

Hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Slovenia, Matic Perčič is not your average 3D animator; he’s a one-man animation party!
Matic has evolved into a 3D animation wizard who’s conquered every corner of the 3D production pipeline. 
Matic’s journey in the creative world started with video production, and now he’s brought his talents to the dynamic realm of game animation.
Outside of the pixelated universe, Matic is a proud dad to one amazing daughter, who undoubtedly inherited some of his creative genes. When he’s not molding virtual worlds, you can find him crafting real-world wonders in his workshop or engaging in some epic gaming sessions.

 

Raquel Hernández

Mid Animator

Her life was 2D until she went to a Muse gig and then her whole world got another dimension. Raquel likes to talk to Maya whilst animating, coaxing it and willing it not to crash, and then shouts some Spanish expletives when it undoubtedly does.
She is a secret fan of Pokemon’s Scarlet and Violet, loves watching Climbing World Cups and baking videos, although she claims never to bake!
As a featured Animation Mentor Alumni, her acting skills are plain to see and it’s evident her career is off to a flying start!

 

Ryan Schofield

Senior Animator

Ryan, from the nebulous region between Manchester and Liverpool, graduated from Falmouth University in 2019. Since then, he’s been animating his way through the Games Industry, working across all sorts of genres and styles – whether it be an RTS, shooter or management sim – he’s always up to the task!

Away from the screen, Ryan is a big fan of League of Legends and FPS games, and enjoys settling down to a good board game with friends. When he’s not gaming, you’ll likely find him travelling somewhere new, playing badminton, or, most importantly, eating! A keen foodie, Ryan loves both trying and cooking all sorts of cuisines, although Mexican food holds a particularly special place in his heart. Tacos for days!

Silina Kannacher

Junior Animator

Silina, originally from Germany, grew up in Spain and now calls Portugal home. After studying media and 3D production, she found her true passion in bringing characters to life as a 3D animator. A scuba-diving mermaid at heart, Silina is also an anime fan, adores Sailor Moon and has a deep love for all things Japan. Her gaming journey began with Pokémon, sparking a lifelong love for video games.

Sole Gozález Romero

Mid Animator

Soledad travelled the globe, before finally finding her way to Super Spline. Having left behind what would have been an illustrious career as an Olympic rower, she found her true calling in twiddling splines and bringing all kinds of crazy characters to life!

Her talents were clear from an early stage which saw her quickly promoted from intern to junior, all while basking in the beautiful sun of Southern Spain!

Past Experience

Here are some of the projects we’ve worked on before Super Spline – yes Xbox and PS2 – some of us are old! 🙂
