About me
I'm Kam Kalambay, a 2D Animation Director, Storyboard Artist, Animator, Illustrator, and Art Director with experience across television, games, music videos, commercials, and independent productions.
My work centers on cinematic storytelling, clear staging, expressive character performance, action choreography, visual development, and guiding projects from early concept through storyboards, animatics, animation, and final delivery. I'm especially drawn to projects that need strong visual direction, emotional weight, memorable characters, and a clear sense of movement and atmosphere.
My credits include storyboard and revision work for Nickelodeon and Paramount's Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, animatic work for Gearbox and 2K's Battleborn, animation direction for Ziggy Marley's Rebellion Rises, and animation and art direction work connected to Universal Music Group and Erykah Badu. I've also directed and contributed to music videos, commercials, pitch films, independent animation, and visual storytelling projects for a range of clients and production teams.
I'm skilled in Storyboard Pro, TVPaint Animation, Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, and DaVinci Resolve. I'm comfortable working independently, leading creative teams, collaborating with directors and producers, and adapting to different production styles while protecting the clarity and personality of the work.
I bring a strong understanding of story, composition, camera language, acting, rhythm, design, and production problem solving. Whether I'm boarding an action sequence, directing a 2D animation team, developing a visual style, or shaping an animatic, my goal is always to make the work feel intentional, alive, and emotionally readable.
I'm currently open to remote, hybrid, and Dallas Fort Worth based opportunities in storyboarding, storyboard revision, animatics, traditional 2D animation, animation direction, art direction, visual development, previs, and cinematic production.
