Hello! I'm Benedito Antonio de Oliveira Silva Benejack, a passionate 2D animator and designer with extensive experience across Brazilian studios. I specialize in Toon Boom Harmony, Storyboard Pro, After Effects, Maya, and TV Paint, delivering expressive character performance and high-quality animation using both cut-out and frame-by-frame techniques.

I'm committed to meeting production deadlines and collaborating with directors to maintain high quality in every frame. I'm open to relocation and eager to contribute my experience to a dynamic studio. You can see more of my work on my blog and Vimeo pages linked in my résumé.
