Artist, animator, character animator and director with the experience of
work on promo vidoes, animation music videos, character animation.
I'm interested in character animator or animation director position.
I'm very persistant and assiduous and full of initiative while working.
I have a great power of imagination and I'm always in a search of a new
style, new creative solution and art-house effect. I can make peole join
efforts for the sake of the project and take control of the process.
I'm interested, first of all, in the result and able to work more then
24 hours in succession to meet the deadlines.
I'm orientated to lofty matters in my work and I have a strong desire to
develop professional and creative skills. So I would like to work for

Here is the usual algorithm of working process for 1-minute animation:
1 – The idea itself and the primary story board (variants):(1-2 weeks)
2 – Animatic, sound, voice (primary), (variants of music, actors voice,
editing): (1-2 days);
3 – Graphic style, characters, colored (final) storyboard (1-2 weeks);
4 – Animation compilation (1-2 weeks);
5 – Animating, phasing, detailed representation scene by scene (1-3
weeks);
6 – Editing, final voice, improvement of the details (1-2 days)
Thus the whole working process can take 1-2 month, depending on graphic
and animation style.
Price - $2500 per month.
My average rate is about 4 seconds of animation per day.
