| Introduction | I'm 31 years old and currently a character animator at DreamWorks Animation on the film Puss in Boots. I've also worked on Megamind and How to Train Your Dragon at DreamWorks Animation. My first animation industry job was at Blue Sky Studios working on Ice Age III. Before that I was a compositor and Maya generalist at Beach VFX in Prague. I've worked on molds, special effects costumes, puppets, concept designs, PA work at Pregnant Pictures, also in Prague. I've worked on several freelance motion graphics, graphic design and illustration projects. I worked for two years in a local Fox news studio as a studio camera operator while interning in both the editing and motion graphics department. I earned my associates in Graphic Design and Bachelors in Digital Media Arts from Platt College in San Diego. I then furthered my education at Animation Mentor to learn character animation. tyleranimation@gmail.com |
