I have worked for over four years as a professional animator with MPC London, creating high end animations for feature films and commercials. I also have two years past experience in matchmove and roto-animation and one years experience as a technical animator at the same company. I am a conscientious person who works hard and pays attention to detail. I am flexible, quick to pick up new skills and eager to learn from others. I am team-oriented; can complete assigned tasks independently with little or no direct supervision. I am proficient in Maya, Boujou, 3DEqualizer and have a basic understanding of Photoshop.
