Jobs that directly have to do with animation and art:

​

 

2D Animator / Compositor / Effects Artist / Post Editor / Color and Ink Artist / Background Artist / Designer / Illustrator

Futaku: Freelance 

2021 - Now

I was brought on as a Freelance 2D Animator to Futaku Studios, working mostly in Toon Boom at the time. As time went on I started working on the Color and Ink team, also in Toon Boom. During this time I also took care of inking scenes, adding base colors, as well as shading and a bit of After Effects editing. From there I had used Photoshop to create 2D animatable backgrounds for a project, as well as a 2D/3D animated to create a 3 dimensional 2D space in After Effects. I added effects and composited the scenes together in After Effects, and found myself settling into this branch of the creation process for a while. 
While here I also helped design and animate a few small projects separate from the main large projects. Once again using After Effects, Photoshop and Premiere Pro.
