3D Artist, Director, Animator - Maya / Vray Professional

Greetings!

I'm a versatile *d digital artist that can fit into many different roles. As a seasoned professional with more than ten years of experience executing successful 3D animation and design projects, I strongly believe that I'm able to make a positive impact on your team as your newest addition.

My background includes designing and delivering creative projects and services from concept through completion. My most recent project was designing animated visuals for the Bleep Bloop Fifth Pupil tour, which is presently making it's mark around the country. Even though I performed all of the tasks from concept through completion, my main challenge was to incorporate the designs of Bleep Bloop's resident artist into a full narrative to expand the universe and character development for upcoming projects. From start to finish, the project took four months, and elapses over 13 minutes.

I have experience in directing art and technical development for a wide range of projects in different industries and settings; from creating original 3D environments and 3d character models and animation rigs for games, to full brand development through graphic, logo and packaging design. I have experience in all of the stages of the production pipeline. I quickly grasp a clear understanding of my role and its necessities within all the moving parts. Teaching digital media and game design at college-level has not only given me the opportunity to solidify my own abilities to effectively work under deadline, but these experiences have also taught me valuable lessons in communication, learning, and efficiency.

With my strength firmly cemented in the foundation arts, combined with my tenacious work ethic and dedication to transparency and communication, I am very excited to become an integral part of a great team.

Best regards,

Strother Benson
