To whom it may concern,
I have spent the last 4 years switching from a Physical Therapy Technician perspective to animation-centric background. I would say that my background in human body movement has been very beneficial to understanding rigging and skinning characters using Maya. This is where I found my passion in animation, and character development. I enjoy understanding how the characters move and express themselves. I find inspiration from viewing things around me and visually referencing for implementation. If I am not creating assets, I am following technical directors such as Iker J. de los Mozos, learning from Raffaele Fragapane on The Cult of Rig, and following many other talented artists and programmers from around the world. Recently, have found that Houdini’s TOPs network for a non-destructive Procedural Dependency Graph (PDG) workflow handy. My goal is to continue to improve my skills and support time-based production deadlines.
I would also like to highlight that for the past 2 years I am learning C++ and Python. I have also spent additional time learning Linux, and Networking fundamentals so that I could understand the inner workings of how a Raspberry Pi works for personal growth.
I am always willing to understand situations to find better solutions. I am honest, and not afraid to try new things. Attached to this cover letter is my resume and my demo reel. I would love to hear back from you.
Best,
