    uniE608 Animation Showreel 2025
    HI! This is my latest animation showreel, with a lot of independent works from the past five years. Most of them are made entirely with ToonBoom Harmony, but you'll find some experimental traditional animation too. During the last year I also had the opportunity to be Props Artist and Clean Up Artist for Doghead Animation, for a young adult serie produced by Movimenti Production for Netflix. I am very excited about the results, and I hope I will be able to share my work soon! If you enjoy my work, just know that I am ailable for new projects! Thank you for watching :) animator video filmdirector
