Zach Shukan’s Summary
I'm primarily a 3D artist with a fairly comprehensive knowledge of all the major 3D applications for modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, dynamics/simulation, as well as a strong 2D skill-set.
My career goal (the next 10 years) is to join or found a studio to create short films and R&D my own hardware and software ideas. In order to make this happen, I've been working hard to establish myself in the animation/motion graphics/visual effects industry.
Zach Shukan’s Specialties:
modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, dynamics/simulation, compositing, storyboards, art direction, and food service

This slowdown of the economy has brought many opportunities to work as an outside vendor for several agencies and networks. In this capacity, I have managed small teams to meet the demands of projects that in the past would have gone to larger studios.
