Frequently Asked Questions
CAN YOU DESIGN AND ANIMATE?
Yes, I design, create boards, and animate. The design phase is one of my favorite parts of the project. I’m comfortable designing as well as thinking ahead and preparing for when the project goes into the production phase. I’m capable of taking a project from the design phase through production, and final shipping.
DO YOU WORK IN 3D?
Yes, 3D design and animation are skills that I can implement, After Effects and MAYA are my main tools for 3D project needs. I primarily work on Main Title and motion graphics projects. Character animation is not something I do.
DO YOU USE MAYA OR C4D?
I use MAYA for high-end 3D. It works cohesively and is a powerful compelling toolset when combined with After Effects and Nuke. With the MASH plugin, MAYA becomes a high-end motion graphics tool that integrates smoothly into a valuable procedural workflow. C4D is not a platform I work with.
