@normanpensotes
VFX animator and motion designer specializing in 2D/3D dynamic sequences, rigging, and modeling for high-stakes production timelines.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-oriented 2D and 3D animator focused on delivering complex, dynamic sequences in deadline-driven environments. I bring broad hands-on experience across VFX animation, rigging, and modeling for major production and collaborative projects.
From 2019–2020, I worked as a CGI/VFX Animator, and from 2022–2024 I advanced to FX Animator/Supervisor at PIXEL PLUS STUDIO for India–Philippines production work. Across these roles, I’ve contributed to AVP, movie production (cartoons), and TV commercial pipelines, consistently aiming to surpass expectations.
I stay up-to-date with current animation trends and techniques, and I’m comfortable building and refining sequences end-to-end. My workflow includes rendering/texturizing, assembling shot sequences from raw footage, dialogue, sound effects, and graphics, and ensuring animation details like pop on/off and effect levels are correct.
What I value most is collaboration—consulting with directors, producers, and clients throughout post-production, selecting the most effective shots for story relevance and continuity, and solving issues quickly without compromising visual quality. I’m committed to strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving to help teams deliver polished results.
