About
Hi, I’m Tristan Balos. I’m a ‘Hand Drawn’ Disney Trained 2D/Cel Animator and Designer. I have 25 years professional Animation experience in Film, Advertising and TV. I worked/studied for 6 years as an Animator at Disney. Together we created Hand Drawn - Animated Movies produced on Paper. For the past 19 years. I have been working as a Professional Animator. Drawing Frame by frame Characters, Backgrounds and entire Animated Sequences showing characters of Contemporary Culture through Media and Music Videos. -My Animation and Design strengths have range - from ‘semi realism’ to -‘unique and bold graphic shapes’, with ‘motion morphing and interesting timing’. I can draw and animate very fluid, and natural, yet acurate ‘paths of motion and action.’ -or I can ‘Draw over’ other pre-existing animation sequences to: - look at the overall elements of animation and design, such as: ‘timing, flow and graphic strenths’ of videos/image sequences to add: ‘dynamic rhythm, stylize, strengthen, simpify/detail, re-time or add ‘Life and Appeal’ to characters movements and also the overall ‘Shape Design’ of all the Animated Elements’ with-in the composition.
