About me.
Hello, I'm Tom - a solution focused 3D Animator and VFX Artist based in the Midlands, with 25 years experience turning creative concepts into entertaining stories.
Here's how I do it...
• Creativity and knowledge:
As well as being a non-stop creative, I'm also a full time technician. Whenever a project presents a new artistic challenge, I throw myself in finding out the most efficiant way to achieve the ideal solution. Not how to get it out of the way quickly , or worse; diluting the artistic intent to find a short cut.
• Experience:
It's been 25 years since I first sat down in front of a 3D animation program, and I haven't stopped learning, or loving 3D, since. For over 20 years I've been professionally creating 3D visuals and animations which consistently tell their story exactly as intended, and achieve the commercial aims of the project. Whether that's entertaining, or increasing sales, I know how to hit deadlines, and achieve measurable results.
• Versatility:
Software is more just a tool, it's an extension of me as an artist. Which is why I don't limit myself to one or two programs. In fact I'm constantly learning new features of familiar programs, or new software altogether. To give you an idea, here are some of programs and plug-ins I use in when crafting CG images: 3DSMax, Maya, Vray, Vantage, Arnold, Scanline, Prorender, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition.
If you're planning a CG animation project I'd love to hear from you!
