My name’s Kristoffer Clark and I'm a character animator with a B.A. in Media Arts & Animation from the Art Institute of California – Orange County.  I have been attempting to learn all the techniques of 3D animation since the fall of 2000.  Overall I really enjoy everything about 3D animation, when asked to choose a certain field of 3D it will have to be Character Animation.  Taking a lifeless model and watching it come to life is something that really excites me.  Don’t get me wrong... I enjoy rigging, modeling and compositing but I swear animation is where I’m supposed to leave a mark!

Currently I am working as a character animator for Papaya Studio. In addition I also am the main rigger for our company. I spend half the week working on animations and the other half rigging new characters and implementing them into the game engine. As for freelance work, i'm always up for new projects (so if you want me for something let me know!).This May will be my first full year in the 3d industry, and it's been great.

When I’m not working on animation I try to learn more about websites, and making shortfilms with my friends. I’m constantly looking for a great independent film and listening to lyric driven music.  I can solve a rubix cube and have got some serious juggling skills!

 

Thanks for taking the time to read about me.
