Currently working in a placements role while developing and applying motion graphics skills alongside my studies. (Resume text indicates ongoing work; specific placement responsibilities were not detailed.)

Created a complete animated short film (“Last Charge”) from concept to final output. Modeled and rigged a main robot character in Autodesk Maya, textured characters and props using Substance Painter, and animated character performance with attention to body mechanics, timing, and weight transfer. Lit and rendered scenes using Arnold, then edited the final film with sound design and basic color correction using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. Also built additional 3D projects including a stylized asset modeled in 3ds Max (Archer Tower), robot character modeling and rigging in Maya, and a grass simulation using particle systems in Maya. Delivered lighting and rendering work in 3ds Max with Arnold render passes, and developed a character walk cycle in Maya to demonstrate fundamentals of body mechanics, weight transfer, and timing.
