Objective
I am currently seeking a full-time position in the Toronto area that would allow me to utilize my
animation and problem solving skills. I have worked for a number of years in both CG and hand drawn
animation. My experience spans Fx and Character Animation across several formats including feature
films, DVD, television series and video games.
I am a hard worker, and I am available to begin work immediately.
Skills
Special Effects Animator/Supervisor
My primary area of expertise. I animate FX, whether it is using particle systems, compositing, drawn
on paper or in the computer. I have also supervised crews of FX artists, providing leadership on
several productions and kept communication flowing when that work was being directed by remote
studios.
CG Character Animator
I have done layout and animation on a variety of shows. I use my classical training to bring as much life
into the acting as possible. I constantly build on the knowledge that I acquire.
