Hire Me
Some of my key strengths include:
Character blocking, camera animation and composition.
Pre visualization set and prop modeling
Strong communication skills with the flexibility and experience required to adjust to rapidly changing schedules in high-pressure productions.
Creative and technical problem solving skills in streamlining pipeline work flow inefficiencies.
I specialize in translating the director's vision from 2D storyboards into 3D space, I work closely with the art director, animation leads and technical leads to bring the directors vision to the screen. Layout is the blue print from which the rest of the production is visualized and delivered.
