I have worked as a generalist for several years and I have also specialized in lighting, tracking, layout, matchmoving and asset development. I also bring a solid understanding of look development, rigging and character animation.

I have also worked as a previsualization artist. Interpreting storyboards and applying them with boutique to medium sized teams is something that I am very familiar with.

After doing this for two decades I understand that things have changed. However, I also understand that there are different stages to every pipeline. I can have roles at either end, or take on shots individually.

If you are looking for a contemporary 3D Artist who brings old school, brute force Generalist experience to a talented team please get in touch.
