Mario S. Leblanc Email & Phone Number

I grew up in Drummondville, QC in Canada, with my three younger sisters. I was blessed at an early age with talents in drawing and general arts, but life directed my path in a different direction for a while.I worked in different types of industries, including steel transformation, construction and wood transformation where I became a Foreman. After the Company shut down because of the wood exchange crisis between Canada and United States in 2001, I decided to join the Canadian Forces. I retired from the military in 2012 at the end of a 3-year work exchange between the US military and Canadian military. I decided to retire from that field to finally accomplish my dream of becoming a 3D artist. I moved in Winter Park with Lauren, my lovely wife, in April 2013, to start a Computer Animation degree at Full Sail University in June of that same year. It has been a fantastic journey and obviously just the start of a greater one to come. I graduated March 6, 2015, with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Animation.I am specialized in Lighting & Look Development, but I can do everything else, from modeling to animating, compositing, including roto tracking 2D- 3D and matte painting in Photoshop.I graduated from Valencia College for an Associate of Science degree in Graphic Design in December 2022.I try hard every day to live by those two quotes: "Everything in life comes to you as a teacher. Pay attention..." "One day, you will be just a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one."

Listed skills include Maya, 3D Modeling, Photoshop, Computer Animation, and 30 others.
