Photoshop Guru with an Animation Background
I am a Photoshop Guru. I’ve spent a lot of time using Adobe Photoshop and am very comfortable and confident with it. I have experience animating in Maya and 3D Studio Max, I am an excellent problem solver, fast learner, and have been fortunate enough to animate at LAIKA/house on three Toys ‘R’ Us holiday television commercials. During that time I became familiar with dailies, tight deadlines, and proprietary tool sets. I completed the eighteen month character animation program at AnimationMentor.com and it has given me direct experience handling critiques, feedback, and deadlines.
Before attaining my 'Advanced Studies in Character Animation' Certificate from Animation Mentor, I graduated from the University of Advancing Technology with a Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia with a focus in Digital Animation. At UAT I was exposed to stop motion tools and techniques, learned the ins and outs of Photoshop, learned 3d modeling, lighting, texturing, animation, and also took classes in film production, After Effects, and Premiere. Soon after graduation I worked for a game developer as a 3D artist creating static models for an unreleased Xbox 360 title. Prior to that, I had six plus years of experience in the computer repair / IT industry so I am a great problem solver behind the keyboard.
I can’t wait to join your team and be part of new and exciting projects.
