Neil Pollock - Lead Animator
Neil has been working in the games industry now for just over 10 years. After graduating from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in 1998 he got his first experience of the industry at Vis Entertainment (then Vis Interactive) based in Dunfermline. Whilst there Neil worked as an artist/animator on a number of titles – Earthworm Jim 3D (PC), Tom and Jerry: Fists of Furry (N64), State of Emergency (PS2), Evil Dead: A Fistful of BoomStick (PS2, XBox) and pre-production for State of Emergency 2 (PS2).
In Jan 2004, Neil left Vis to join Realtime Worlds as Senior Animator on the award winning XBox 360 title Crackdown and was primarily responsible for the animation and development of the agent character’s movement and abilities. After finishing up on Crackdown in late 2006, Neil moved onto RTW’s upcoming MMO title APB before moving to Ruffian Games in Jan 2009.
Neil is now Lead Animator at Ruffian Games.
