About
I’m Holly DePetrillo, a 3D animator who focuses on character animation, facial performance cleanup, and motion capture refinement. I work in Autodesk Maya to polish keyframes and ensure animation notes are addressed quickly so productions stay on schedule. I also bring raw performance data to life by cleaning it up and retargeting it onto high-quality rigs.
Over the past few years, I’ve contributed to AAA and cinematic projects through contract and full-time roles. I’ve supported production pipelines from tracking and retargeting (including Faceware Analyzer/Retargeter) to final approvals on multiple shots, and I enjoy creating believable movement and emotional nuance for both in-game characters and story-driven sequences.
