Hi, I’m Evan Martinez—an animator who loves using character performance and creative storytelling to bring projects to life. My focus is on 2D animation, including strong acting, timing, posing, and polish from rough through cleanup so each shot feels cohesive and production-ready. I’ve led and supported animation teams by assigning shots, running tests, reviewing work for consistency, and giving targeted feedback to help builds hit the intended feature-quality style. I also collaborate across pipelines, partnering with 3D teams to match staging, perspective, and timing so 2D characters integrate smoothly into 3D environments.…Hi, I’m Evan Martinez—an animator who loves using character performance and creative storytelling to bring projects to life.
