Hi, I’m JD Roberts, a multidisciplinary artist blending 3D art, animation, and graphic design to bring architectural visuals and cinematic concepts to life. I work freelance across the UK, creating cinematic sequences, set dressing, and post-production effects in After Effects and Premiere Pro, often using Unreal Engine for real-time visualization. My background spans self-initiated UE5 cinematics with architecture, foliage, animation and elemental particle simulations, plus production support such as coordinating shoots, prop sourcing, and location management. I enjoy collaborating with teams to craft engaging visuals that tell a story and elevate a project.
