Available to hire
Hi, I’m Adam Schwartz, a 3D and 2D cut-out animator from Montreal, Canada. I’ve contributed to a range of projects—from award-winning feature films to web series such as Looking for Group and Least I Can Do. I thrive when collaborating with diverse teams and love adapting to different animation styles and deadlines.
Outside of daily tasks, I take the initiative to build a positive studio culture, organizing after-work activities and events. I enjoy mentoring colleagues, sharing templates for post-production and helping projects hit their deadlines while continuing to push the craft of animation forward.
