Award-Winning filmmaker & animator, running MLC Studios based in Greece where it focuses on a combination of cinematic style and experienced motion design. imdb.com/name/nm_Phone details not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signin_ 🏆 Taking my first steps in the world of sketching and comics, I have gained a lot of experience over the years on how to attribute the still image properly. But my interest was drawn to animation, where a fascinating world of creativity and aesthetics unfolded. My first completed animation attempt was awarded by Olympia International Film Festival in 2004 as the best animated short film. In 2009 I was also nominated for Digital Alexander and awarded the 2nd DigidalWave prize in Thessaloniki International Film Festival for my short film "The Box". But the trophies are not the goal and the journey of learning new techniques and constantly evolving is much more exciting. So after I graduate from my animation school in 2010 I worked professionally in many projects with such success, which made me a more experienced and efficient creator. To this day, my passion for the moving picture, through a combination of filmmaking techniques and computer graphics, is something that undoubtedly characterizes me in quality, elegance and aesthetic, capturing the truly unique in it. Tools I Use: Photoshop (Image Processing) Illustrator (Vector Processing) 3DS Max (3D Modeling & 3D Animation) Pheonix FD (Liquid Simulations) Fume FX (Smoke & Fire Simulations) Rayfire (Geometry Fracture & Dynamics) V-Ray (Rendering) PFTrack (3D Tracking) Mocha Pro (Planar Tracking) After Effects (Motion Design & Post Production) Nuke (Compositing) Audition (Audio Processing) Premiere (Editing & Color Grading) Portfolio: behance.net/passosapostolos
Stefanos is a professional animator, illustrator and art director. Tried everything from clay sculpting to stop-motion animation and game design but he is still extremely thirsty to create. With a continuously evolving love for animation and digital arts has worked for film, television and web media with companies all over the world for over 6 years. He is a perfectionist and always trying to make the best out of any project regardless the circumstances!
I am a 2D artist, animator and illustrator who graduated with a Master of Science in Animation and VFX from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design at the University of Dundee. Since completing my Master’s degree, I have worked for various animation companies, including Oddbleat, a multi-disciplinary studio in Athens, where I developed storyboards and animation for clients like Google and the Acropolis Museum. My Bachelor’s degree was in Communication and Mass Media, where I majored in television, advertising and marketing courses. In my current position, I am working as a freelance storyboard artist for Socialab advertising agency, translating scenarios for television briefs into storyboards. During my time at Oddbleat studio, I created concepts and storyboards for an interactive children’s game which is currently being developed for the Acropolis Museum. I am an advanced user of the Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere, and InDesign, with elementary proficiency in Maya and Zbrush. During my professional career and academic studies, I have equally practised illustration, 2d animation and storyboard art but my most extensive experience has been in the field of concept/storyboard art. I would appreciate an opportunity to meet people and companies on Twine and become a beneficial part in great projects.
I am an artist from Greece, currently based in Bournemouth studying 3D Computer animation (MA). I am a graphic design graduate from Technological Educational Institute of Athens, but my real passion is 3D art and animation. I have a huge love about epic fantasy and wildlife, where I usually draw inspiration from.

How To Shortlist An Animator
Shortlisting an animator can seem like a time-consuming task.
We’ve made it easy for you.
Here’s a quick overview of how to find an animator on Twine:
- Post up a job
- Wait for animation specialists to pitch to you
- Review your pitches and choose a candidate
- Agree your terms
- Voila!
Tips For Writing Your Job Description
Here’s an interesting statistic:
75% of the pitches for jobs online are from freelancers who are not qualified to do the work
Why?
Because the description doesn't clearly explain what the client wants, so freelancers pitch in hoping that the work might match their skill set.
On Twine, we manually vet all the pitches that a client receives to make sure you don’t have to spend hours filtering out unqualified freelancers.
But it’s still really important to make your brief stand out by being clear and concise.
Clearly-written job briefs allow animation experts to quickly scan your requirements and determine if they’re a good fit for your project before getting in touch.
When writing the animator’s job description, make sure to include the following:
- Who you are
- What you need (and why)
- The size of your project
- Your vision for the project
- Examples of styles you like
- Target audience
- Budget
- Deadline
