Hi, I’m Lakkamasani Srilaya, a 3D Character Animator with production experience in animation pipelines, specializing in performance-driven animation, body mechanics, and visual storytelling. I contributed to 40+ shots using Autodesk Maya, working through layout, blocking, splining, and polish while maintaining shot continuity. I translate acting principles into believable character performances and have hands-on experience with facial animation and motion analysis. I leverage AI-assisted workflows for previsualization and prototyping using Midjourney, ChatGPT, Mixamo, and Plask. I’m eager to contribute to film and animation studios by delivering expressive, story-driven character animation grounded in performance and clarity.
