About Ruth Daly

I having been employed in the animation field for over 20 years in many different capacities including supervisory roles and as an educator. I love both the technical and artistic challenges of the constantly evolving field that is VFX and Character Animation. Feature work has been my primary area but I also have had great experiences working on commercials and TV shows as a traditional artist and CG animator. As an educator/corporate trainer I have developed and deployed intensive online programs for animation hires in Asia within Rhythm and Hues as part of Rhythm and Hues University and for US graduates at The Third Floor in Los Angeles. I am currently Director of the BFA program in Animation and VFX at the prestigious Dodge College of Film and media Arts.
