Michael Irvine Mercado
@michaelirvinemercado
3D animator creating high-fidelity character cinematics and motion-capture animations for games.
What I'm looking for
I’m a 3D Animator focused on high-fidelity character animation and cinematic scenes. I bring technical consistency to every shot by following project guidelines and pipeline requirements.
At Neun Farben Corporation, I animated 50+ high-fidelity character animation shots for Puzzle Panic using Maya, while conducting weekly Animation QA to ensure 100% compliance with the technical pipeline. I also produced a 5-second cinematic scene with 4 different characters, keeping submissions on a fast 2-day turnaround for VR game production.
I strengthen my workflow with motion capture processing—I've processed and cleaned up 30+ minutes of raw motion capture data in Motion Builder. I’m comfortable maintaining scene transitions and technical readiness in live production settings.
Before that, I served as a Head | Technical Broadcast Producer for League of Legends PH, managing monthly live-streams and producing 100+ social media graphics for Discord and Facebook. I also support motion graphics and design work through freelancing and quick-turn client commissions.
