My Name is Christopher Biggs,
I’m a 20+ year veteran of professional experience in VFX, Motion Graphics and Theme Park/Event Projection Mapping, I have developed a comprehensive career in Animation. I eagerly await the opportunity to bring my education, experience, and insight to you.
My diverse experience and field of expertise in visual effects, motion design, and graphics have allowed me great career growth. However, I am now looking for a new position offering greater challenges and new opportunities to partake in. With sharp organizational skills, careful attention to detail, and my ability to work with speed and accuracy, I know I will be a valuable asset to your team.
Some highlights of my career accomplishments include:
• Designing projections for Haunted Mansion, Pirates, Peter Pan & numerous others across Disney parks.
• Animating characters from still images to develop and create a themed experience .
• Collaborating with creatives to organize green-screen shoots and direct talent.
