OBJECTIVES


I'm willing to grow as a professional by helping and being helped by teammates.
Eager to become a valuable and reliable team member within the Animation Department.


SKILLS


Animation
High understanding of animation basic principles, body mechanics and acting.

Software
I use to base my workflow on Maya, Blue Pencil plugin for maya, Blender and TV Paint right now, but I know how to work on other software packages such as 3ds Max, Flipbook, Photoshop, After Effects or Mudbox, but the most important is that I don't feel any barrier between one software and another since the basics of animation are the same and I could adapt quickly to any new software.

Languages
English advanced level
Spanish and Catalan as native languages
