Available to hire
Hi, I’m Xavier Coton, a senior character animator with a passion for bringing characters to life through performance capture, facial animation, and mocap cleanup. I’ve collaborated with world-class studios on a wide range of projects—from feature films to AAA games and Netflix/Prime animations. I thrive in collaborative teams, love solving animation challenges, and enjoy mentoring students as an adjunct instructor.
I’ve contributed to high-profile projects for Blur Studio, Weta FX, The Mill, MPC LA, AGBO, and many others, delivering mocap cleanup, facial animation, creature animation, and polished character performances across films, TV series, and game trailers. My goal is to help characters feel authentic and emotionally engaging while supporting the storytelling and visual effects in each project.
