About Dave
I received my BFA in Media Arts and Animation September 2007 at The Art Institute of Atlanta. I've had the privilege to work with known music producers at Fire-Flame Productions in the Winter of 2009 I was the Lead Animator/Multimedia Designer I developed a 3D animated short with the use of Maya and Adobe Premiere. Also provided the lighting, texturing, compositing, character animation, modeling and rigging. I was the Lead Character Animator/Project Manager at Earth One Studios. Successfully completed the Rigging, Texturing and Animation for a short 3D Music Video with the use of Maya and Adobe Premiere. The project also entailed Character Designs, 3D Modeling, Turn-arounds and Lip Syncing. I've had the opportunity to be on the panel and attend various speaking engagements in regard to character animation.
