A Jamaican artist has come out on top in a character design competition for an upcoming Jamaica/TT animated feature.
In a release from Story Play Media, it was noted in November 2020 the production company invited character artists worldwide to win prizes and an opportunity to work on the first animated feature film emerging from the English-speaking Caribbean through The Caddy Club 2D Character Design Competition.
Jamaican Patrick Meikle emerged as the competition’s winner with his top-scoring concepts for two of the movie’s lead characters, Keisha and Ryan. Meikle holds a Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) in Animation from the University of the West Indies (UWI) at Mona, Jamaica. Having broken new ground as part of UWI’s first BFA in Animation cohort, the animator and illustrator is excited to join the pioneering Caddy Club project, the release said.
