----------------------------
I have over 15 years of experience as a Character Animator, mostly focused in the games industry, but with other experience in commercials, music video, and some film.
The bulk of my years has been working on game cinematics and in-game animations of all type of work environments:.
contract / full time
in house / telecommuting
short cycles / long cycles
large teams / small teams
grunt work / Animation lead / Directing.
You name it, I've probably done it!
The type of animation is flexible as well. Key frame, mo-cap, realistic, cartoony, and everything in between. As long as the goal is clear for the final result, I will reach it.
I am primarily a character animator, but I do also bring a wide variety of other skills to the table. I've been an artist almost my whole life, both traditionally and digitally. I'm capable of concept design, graphic design, illustration, video editing and photography.
The past few years I have also added "project management" to the list because I have curated video game music albums with over 80 people on them. One of which released which pays tribute to the game Secret of Mana: http://www.spectrumofmana.com/
I do this in my spare time outside of my regular gigs, as well as album and graphic design work for a very large swath of the video game music community. Because my passion for games far outweighs my passion for free time.
As a contractor, I can work on site or telecommute very easily. It's all based on the project and the needs of the schedule. Kick me a message and I'll be happy to talk to you!
