Working as Lead character designer, Barry finalized all main character designs (except the vikings), and designed all secondary, additional, extra and animal characters. He designed full model packs and key posed a number of animation sequences. He animated the characters and efx on the "Escape from Iona" sequence.
Throughout production Barry supervised the character models and supervised the key posing animation, working closely with the animators in Ireland and Belgium to keep the style and posing consistent. A video tutorial was shot of Barry's work and sent with the model packs to all studios that were involved in the production of this feature.
