Andrew Gray
3D Animator, Modeler, Illustrator, VFX Artist and Filmmaker
Focused. Creative. Driven.
My name is Andrew and have a passion for visual storytelling, especially expressing it through 3D animation.
I am able to create and appreciate good story planning and collaboration, developing concepts and boards as well as hand-drawn or Maya based characters for film, digital media and
gaming projects.
​
My dream job is to manipulate shape, action, light, shadow, colour, texture and transparency, creating powerful illusions of motion every day. I am in awe of the industry and am open to adding more knowledge and receiving helpful critiques whenever possible. That contributes to a better product and greater possibilities.
I am a true film nerd, (go ahead, ask me who directed every Batman movie), and as an independent filmmaker, I can leverage my skills to bring value, creativity and solutions to a project. I know about scope, time and budget and can work to deadline in an Agile manner.
I am nimble and organized and go the extra mile to get a product
to a quality level.
I enjoy working in a team, and I can also handle working on my own, remotely or on-site. Never afraid to contribute or ask questions, I am always ready for a creative challenge.
