Hi, I’m Roshaun. I’m an FX and character animator with a passion for cinematic visuals and collaborative storytelling. I’ve led FX work and contributed animation for feature projects, including Beyond, while collaborating closely with directors and fellow artists to shape the look and feel of shots. I’m currently expanding my work with Jazzman Production, handling multiple FX shots and character work on new projects. I’m always excited to learn new tools, refine color and lighting in post, and push the creative boundaries of animation and VFX. I value clear feedback, teamwork, and bringing ideas to life through thoughtful design and technical execution.
