History Has Helped
I have been animating for over twenty years professionally. As you know, over the course of this time a lot has changed. With the first 3D software I used; I was limited to flat shaded models that could be displayed in your favorite 16 colors of a 512 color palette (usually 8 shades of gray and some other color). As limiting as the system was; it afforded me an unusual opportunity to understand 3D software in a manner that proves useful to this day. I feel my deep knowledge of each 3D program along the way has given me valuable insight into software predictability. Especially when trying and applying special techniques to overcome animating challenges. In essence, a short cut to the solution.
My experience has given me exposure to a number of directors, from which if observed well, many lighting techniques can be learned. I've had time to develop numerous tricks of the trade that are useful in all stages of animating production. My experience has given me a comfort level when dealing with clientele, which leaves them feeling their project is in good hands.

Related Skills
I am able to take the task from beginning to end. Starting with idea creation/embellishment, storyboarding, special effects advising, planning, pre-visualization, FX directing and monitoring effects shoots for recording of pertinent information needed to successfully accomplish the animation part of the process. Continuing with keeping clients updated on the progress of their projects and suggesting solutions to mid-stream issues that may crop up. Ending with its integration into live action and final compositing or providing composite advice and techniques.

Enthusiasm and Driving Force
I enjoy animating and always put forth a good effort, going the extra mile to make the client happy. I strive to learn something new on every project I work on, be it a new animating technique or other job relevant knowledge. I would be a valuable and energetic asset to your projects and your company.
