Animated multiple 10 - 20 second shots from previs through final animation, building a deeper understanding of body mechanics, character performance, and visual appeal. This training has enhanced both my animation skills and my ability to create performance-driven shots.

Produced 3-5 previs shots on average each day, using industry-standard software such as Maya, Unreal, After Effects, and Premiere.
