Ian Connell - 3D Character Animator
|
Ian Connell is a 3D character animator and an educator.
"Watching these characters come to life is one thing, but to be the one who creates their personalities is another. Seeing the connection between someone's thoughts, and their body language is something that I find really interesting. To me it is that relationship which really makes character animation so fascinating. "The challenge behind getting into a characters head, and figuring out how one would act in their particular situation, is a task that I gladly take on with excitement. I am excited to see where character animation takes me in the future, but for now it is one day at a time." |

Chris Daley - 3D Animator

I've been a UX designer for the better part of a decade, but animation is my calling, and I'm working hard to finally make the leap.
I specialize in 3D animation (as well as general 3D capabilities) in Maya. My style has always tended to be realistic, so as I continue to work those skills, I'm also learning how to animate "cartoon-y" shots. My B.S. is in game development, and I have a more recent Character Animation program certificate from Animation Mentor. |

Carolina Galván-Alvarado - Student at Massachusetts College of Art and Design
|
Carolina Galván-Alvarado is a 2D animator.
Although I focus primarily in 2D animation, I also have a background in stop motion, character design, and concept art. As a student we are expected to animate in both a digital and traditional medium and be open to experimental forms of animation to then integrate them into our work. Character animation and design intertwines with my process of creating a lively animation; sound design and editing then becomes the quintessential to then bring into a work environment. |
