Presentation:
Hello, my name is Lluís Danti, I'm a 3D Character animator from Barcelona. For more
than 10 years now, I´ve been travelling the world working on some of the best animation
and videogame studios. Even today, after all this time, animation is something that never
fails to excite me, the feeling of seeing your character come to life is something that I can
not express in terms of words or numbers, the same feeling that pushes me to improve
my skills to deliver something unique to my audience. Welcome to my online resume.
Highlights:
- 3D animator with 10+ years of experience in feature, TV shows and videogames.
- Proficiency setting up animation networks and state machines for games.
- Good eye for shot composition, storytelling and camera work.
- Problem solving attitude and highly adaptable to new working environments.
- Experience leading animation teams.
- Always looking forward to new challenges to push my animation skills.
