I’m a Senior Animator/Previs Artist with 17 years of experience animating creatures and characters for Commercials, Feature Films, Games, and just about everything else you can imagine. I can set some killer keys or work with mocap to get that necessary extra polish to help with any project. I’m comfortable leading teams of animators and have no problem adjusting to new pipelines or workflows.
