Work History

Freelance 1981 – Present

My most recent project was for Ford automotive, it involved a lot of 3D work in Cinema 4D as well as After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator.

I also just finished a project that had a significant amount of 2D character animation in it. I used After Effects and a plug-in called DUIK.
