About me

I have over twenty years experience in the digital motion graphics industry and I have much to offer as an employee. My skills cover artistic design through to both 2d and 3d animation and compositing. I have worked for the broadcast sector, POS, live events, experiential and web.

I have very good all round skills to cover the entire production pipeline - I have rounded experience in all areas of motion graphics. I have constantly been using my strong illustration and artistic skills for design and animation across a range of genres and styles of production work.

I also have management and directing experience although I am also very happy to work as a regular team player in the studio. I'm a hard diligent worker and still always very willing to learn new things.

Key Skills ------------------

Highly experienced 3d generalist - modeling, lighting, animation, texturing, rendering using Autodesk Maya, Mental Ray, Mudbox, Blender, C4D, Unity.

I have also directed shoots for visual effects promos.

I have designed and conceived projects for pitches with varied storyboarding techniques.

Experience of teaching and mentoring graduates within my former company from positions as juniors/runners up to professional animators and designers.

Technical experience running studio animation environment - multiple workstations PC, Mac, Unix - servers, large data high speed networking, admin systems, render farms etc.

I have an ongoing project building a portfolio of downloadable 3d models which earn me royalty payments. The portfolio and earnings are still quite small.

I am hoping for regular work which will make the most of my extensive experience and stretch my abilities in design, management, graphics, video and media.
