Hi, I’m Jane! I have 19 years of experience animating and directing on a variety of award winning TV series, film & commercial projects for such clients as CBS, Comedy Central, Oreo, United Airlines, Nextel, Showtime, Disney, PBS, Nickelodeon, and HBO. From the screen in your hand to the screens in Times Square, cute and cartoony to sleek and polished, I can deliver whatever style a project requires - on time and within budget. I am extremely comfortable working in After Effects, Maya, Character Animator, Photoshop, Illustrator, and have basic skills in C4D. Please check out my work and resume at www.animationbug.com. Hope to hear from you soon! :)
