ABOUT

TOONSMITH

was established in 2003 by me

BRENT SMITH

Persistent Visionary

- 3D Layout Artist, TV animation

- 3D Generalist and team coordinator - live action feature films

- freelance 2D animator (see REELS)


I've got almost twenty years of experience working in animation. This includes assembling teams to produce 3D assets and animating them for live action independent films, camera set up and 3D layout for live action/CG hybrid television animation, and performing as a one man band, so to speak, for 2D animated short music videos. I've also got a background in graphic design which happens to be handy when working in motion graphics.


I've been building connections in the creative community in a number of different disciplines for 20+ years and I'm always happy to connect with new artists, creatives of all types and storytellers.


I'm ready to bring my skills to a collaboration near you!
