Rigging biped characters, props, quadrupeds, creatures, whatever the show needs for TV Visual Effects.

As a Jr.-Mid level 3D Rigger, I have been helping companies across the country with their rigging needs. I have done work with Hi From The Future (HFTF) in Brooklyn, Brazen Animation in Dallas, and 3Company/Encore in L.A. I have worked remotely and on-site, and I have enjoyed seeing how different companies and their pipelines operate. I thoroughly enjoy helping bring characters and props to life, and then to see the final product. The smiles and laughs it brings to young and old make all the work worth it. This truly is one of the best jobs out there. I am currently working at Encore VFX on a 6 month contract, and I am always looking for my next gig. While the majority of my professional experience has been in feature films, I have had some experience rigging for game engines as well and using motion capture in graduate school and some of my freelance gigs. If you need help in any of these areas, please contact me! I would love to help with your project.

Rigged characters and props for 3 feature films--Ugly Dolls (2019), Scoob! (2020), Rumble (2021)--including skinning, rigging, and sculpting blendshapes. Used Python to automate repetitive tasks.
