Hi, I'm Matt Reynolds, a Junior 2D Animator with a passion for character animation, storyboarding, and concept art. I love blending styles inspired by Chuck Jones and Japanese animation to create engaging and unique projects. I've got solid skills in 2D animation software like Toon Boom Harmony and Clip Studio Paint, and I enjoy working collaboratively in teams as well as taking on leadership roles when it comes to project management. Besides animating, I have experience in various parts of production including video editing, screenwriting, and post production. I also enjoy working on creative projects like my animated motion comic "Dynamo Thunder," where I took on multiple roles including team leadership and scriptwriting. When I'm not animating, I like tinkering with tech, creating pixel art, playing video games, and exploring the outdoors.
