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.
