The past ten years in full-time freelance have really honed my expertise in Motion Graphics, where I've animated everything from movie bumpers to explainer videos to special FX, and everything in between. I've even taken on an adjunct teaching position at Chapman University in the graphic design department. I'm a strong generalist across 2D animation and 3D animation. I also have extensive 3D design and animation experience in Maya and Cinema4D for both games and pre-rendered quality assets. For the work I did in advertising, I was the full production coordinator. I did everything from design to modeling, animation, final rendering and compositing, etc. I was also the motion designer on staff. With my degree in Computer Animation and a minor in Digital Film, I learned not only the software, but I got a solid foundation in traditional arts. The many entertainment genres I've studied or worked in make me versatile enough to handle polished corporate work, story-driven animation, game-ready video game assets, or even live-action visual effects. I'm a great multimedia guy with a solid background in the principles of animation as it applies to motion design. I'm excited to tackle whatever project you have. I'm incorporated under the name JZ Motion, Inc., so that should bring great confidence to anyone who has been frustrated by flaky or unresponsive freelancers. This is my livelihood, and I tackle every contract with a high degree of professionalism.
