I am Mila, a 3D animator based in Auckland, New Zealand. For the last two years I have been working remotely as a lead 3D Animator for a Canadian studio, but have recently been affected by the layoffs.
I am a dedicated 3D animator with five years of professional experience and a Bachelor's degree in 3D animation. Two years ago, I was honoured to be promoted to a lead animator position, where I have thrived in guiding and mentoring fellow animators, while also sharpening my own skills in the process. In this time I worked on animated series rendered in Unreal Engine, and a UEFN experience. It was a combination of mocap and keyframe anim.
In addition to my experience with Autodesk Maya, I have been diving into the world of Unreal Engine and exploring creating animations using the new technology. Specifically, I have designed my own metahuman and brought it into UE 5.2, where I did an animation test. I would say I have a broad animation skill set and can do both realistic and stylized, creature and character shots.
My colleagues would describe as someone who is pro-active, determined, and easy to communicate with. Hope that sounds like someone you are a looking for!
