My name is Eddie Chew and I have been a 3D and VFX Animator for 16 years. I also Founded and Teach an online Animation School “Griffin Animation Academy”.

I recently finished as a Senior Animator with Scanline VFX on the Film Kong vs Godzilla and previously I was at Industrial, Light and Magic on Aladdin and at Sony Pictures Imageworks on Spider-man:Into the Spider-verse. Before that I was a Lead Animator at Double Negative on the VFX Film Pacific Rim:Uprising at the studio in Mumbai, India and I also acted as an Animation Supervisor for 10 Weeks.

Having many years of animation experience combined with providing constant and concise feedback to my animation students makes me suitable for any Lead or Supervision roles in Animation.

I have worked at many other VFX Studios such as Weta Digital, MPC, Framestore, Method Studios and Animal Logic.

Thanks
Eddie
