Available to hire
Hi, I’m Mark Dunshee, a passionate 3D generalist and project lead who loves turning client visions into vibrant, high-quality animations. I specialize in end-to-end production: blocking, modeling, surfacing, lighting, environmental layout, and compositing, and I thrive on delivering polished results on schedule.
Over the years I’ve led teams at Afterglow, Rhythm & Hues, Flurry, and Wet Cement, collaborating across departments to hit milestones and push creative boundaries. I’m always eager to learn new tools and techniques to improve efficiency and bring projects from concept to screen.
