About me

I am currently working as a Junior video artist at Barcrest Games in Manchester. There I work within all areas of creative production. Including the modelling, texturing, rigging and animation of 3D graphics and characters using Lightwave as well as 2D graphics and animation using Photoshop, Particle Illusion and AfterEffects. At university my 3D training was using Maya and I have kept my knowlege of the package outside of work. I have also taken to learning z brush in my spare time. The reason I would like to change jobs is in order to focus more on character animation. As a career I am looking to specialise in that area. I believe that my work at Barcrest has given me a broad foundation of knowledge an experience to build on, however I do not get the opportunity to work on as much character based work as I need to improve my animation skills effectively. To support this area of specialism I have worked outside of work on demo reel pieces and taken professional acting courses to enhance my acting decisions in animation. I am lookiing for somewhere where I can work alongside animators of a higher skill level than myself to learn from them and to be in a challenging environment.
