Cal Friesen's Portfolio

I'm a Junior CG Animator who continuously seeks to learn and improve. Art has been my passion ever since I could hold a crayon and when I found out being an animator was a job I could actually train for I knew I wanted to be one.

I'm experienced with Autodesk Maya and I'm quick at adapting to learn new software. If I don't understand a technique or tool, the first thing I do is research and ask questions. With each animation I create, I like to challenge myself to practice a new skill and improve current ones. Areas of animation I'm particularly skilled at and enjoy are camera staging, cycles, creature animation, and both subtle and exaggerated acting/facial animation. 

Outside of animation, I enjoy writing stories, drawing art and comics, and spending time with friends and family playing games or going for walks.

Some of the key values I bring to any project I work on are collaboration, communication, organization, and an open mind for learning. I look forward to bringing my skills to your project and contributing to the success of your team!

Let's create amazing stories together!
