Janel Drewis is a Senior Animator at Meta. She possess expertise in character animation, animation, maya, video games, computer animation and 10 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Janel started off at Telltale Games as part of my animation team on "The Wolf Among Us". Right away I felt fortunate that I had her on my team for the duration of the project. Janel was originally brought on as an animation intern but she quickly got herself up to speed with Telltale’s unique animation pipeline. Even with aggressive estimates, and complete scenes being re-written on the fly, she completed her work in a timely manner, and at the best possible quality regardless of time restrictions. As a lead on the project I quickly trusted her and her animation talents. Later during the production of “Wolf”, creative leads and senior staff started noticing her animation talents and she was promoted to a full-time keyframe animator. I remember the Creative Director of “Wolf” requesting if Janel could create the facial expressions for the character’s automated acting system, this system is used by Telltale’s cinematic artists to create a performance. Janel took to this part of the animator pipeline very quickly, even with the system changing and constantly being updated. For the start of Minecraft: Season One she was soon experimenting even deeper with telltale’s proprietary game engine. For Minecraft Janel set up body poses, transitions between poses, and “acting” gestures for the main character. The initial start-up work that she did laid out a nice ground work for the project. Janel’s hard work made my transition from lead for “Wolf” to lead on “Minecraft” that much smoother. I was sad to see Janel leave Telltale but I was also very excited for her, and any company lucky enough to have her! I wish Janel nothing but the best of luck in her professional career."
