Hi, I’m Alwyn Funa, a dependable and energetic animator with a passion for storytelling through visuals. I thrive in collaborative environments, work well with minimal supervision, and can adapt to both PC and MAC platforms. I’m a Maya generalist with strengths in animation, rigging, lighting and dynamics, and I can also composite, rotoscope, matchmove and track cameras. My experience spans feature films, television series, and commercials, with roles in previs, postvis, and VFX pipelines. I’ve contributed to projects like Stranger Things Season 5, Pinocchio, The Tomorrow War, The Call of the Wild, Chupa, Morbius and more. I’m comfortable delivering high-quality visuals under tight deadlines and continuously developing my craft through training and hands-on work in Unreal Engine, ZBrush, and related tools.
