Hi, my name is Michele and I’m a 3D Animator from a small town in New Jersey.

On my site I have different animations, traditional work, and some pieces from my sketchbooks that show my ideas and processes. Some of my favorite films are Fantastic Mr. Fox, Wallace and Gromit, and Wall-e. I really appreciate how some films can tell a story without dialog and use body language to tell the audience what is happening. Being able to create a moment that moves people without words is something that’s extremely powerful and can be extremely difficult to do. 

             I really enjoy managing a project and seeing the final piece come together. Looking back at the start of all the work and seeing how far it’s come is really rewarding to me. It’s always interesting to see the progression of the story and characters from when you first start it. Though some things may not have been what was originally intended I still find myself happy with the final piece. I’d like to be able to create something meaningful that hits home with audiences. I appreciate animations that show different experiences that people can face in an everyday scenario. Not everyone can be a winner and not everyone can have a happy ending in every story, but the stories that show people can still grow and be happy with themselves even after adversity leave a more lasting impact.
