QUALIFICATONS

I have over 15 years of animation production experience. I began my career in traditionally animated feature films. I advanced from assisting to animating by taking the initiative to seek out mentors and do animation tests on my own. I consistently strive to learn new skills and improve on the skills I have. I began using Maya two and a half years ago. After working with Maya for only six months I was asked by the Animation Director on Stuart Little 2 to be a Lead Animator. It was the first CG feature I ever worked on. I learn fast. I am currently working in both Maya and Kaydara's Motion Builder enhancing motion capture and doing keyframe animation. I also have extensive experience working in Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, and Speed Razor. I have a working knowledge of 3D Studio Max, Painter and Final Cut. I am equally at home working on Mac, Windows, or Unix based systems.
