Hi, I'm excited to apply for the 3D Animator role on your children's YouTube series. Character animation and expressive storytelling are at the heart of my work, and I'd love to bring that to your project. Demo reel: _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ I'm a BFA graduate in Animation, Interactive Technology, Video Graphics & Special Effects from Academy of Art University in San Francisco. My foundation is in character animation using Autodesk Maya — focusing on timing, weight, performance, and the kind of personality-driven movement that makes characters feel genuinely alive for young audiences. I love exploring different visual languages and finding what serves each story best. That said, I'm very comfortable working within a defined visual direction and adapting my craft to match a show's established aesthetic. What draws me to this project: · Children's animation demands warmth, clarity, and emotional honesty in every frame — that's the standard I hold my work to · I understand the full pipeline from modeling and rigging through to lighting and final render · I work well with creative direction and feedback — I see iteration as part of the craft, not a setback · Remote collaboration and organized asset management are things I take seriously I'm based in San Francisco and available to begin work from October 1st, 2026, when my post-completion OPT work authorization begins. I'd love to learn more about the show and see if we're a good fit. Warm regards, Shveni Gala +1_Phone details not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ _Email not available.
