I'm a animator who specializes in 2D animation from traditional animation to cut-out animation. My name is Kelvin Chen, a Toronto-based 2d animator. I am skilled in character animation and toon boom rigging. I've worked on a range of projects, each with its own unique genre and style, which has made me adaptable. For instance, in "End of the Line," I tackled serious themes with humanoid characters, while in "Slay it Son," I embraced a more comedic tone with characters of childlike proportions. While most of my work has been in cut-out animation, I also served as a Toon Boom rigger on "Lobster Boat," where I had a tight one-week deadline to rig two characters with complete turnarounds and mouth shapes. Additionally, I've delved into traditional animation on projects like "A Prayer from the Black Box," infusing stories with emotions and effects animation. --- Employment and project experience 2D Animator, Student Thesis Film End of the Line - September 2022 - April 2023 ● Animator on student film End of the Line directed by Marc Lajoie Salvatore ToonBoom Rigger, Student Thesis Film End of the Line - September 2022 - April 2023 ● Toonboom Rigger and Prop lead on student film End of the Line directed by Marc Lajoie Salvatore 2D Animator, Part Time Position “Slay it Son” Seneca Animation Short Film ● Animator on student film Slay it Son directed by Lucas Higgins 2D Animator, Freelance “A Prayer from the Blackbox”- August 2023 - Current ● Animator on short film A Prayer from the Blackbox directed by Drew Roderick 2D Animator, Freelance “Lobster Boat”- November 2023 - December 2023 ● Animator on short film Lobster Boat directed by Cassie Demelo ToonBoom Rigger, Freelance “Lobster Boat” - September 2022 - April 2023 2D Generalist, Contract Rapha Christian Development Association- June 2022 - July 2022 ● Created the storyboard from the script, Rigged characters and animated those characters Booth Moderator, Part Time Position TAAFI - May 2021 ● Worked at a discord studio booth, moving people around to portfolio review voice calls when it was their turn Assistant Moderator, Part Time Position LightBox- September 2021 ● Cooperated with my teammates and speakers to moderate sessions.
