TJ McKimmey’s Summary
I am a recent graduate of Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film and Video. My concentration was in traditional animation. I also have an Associate of Applied Science degree in Graphic Design.
While at Columbia College, I had the opportunity to independently and collaboratively produce short animated and live action films. I am proficient in Flash and After Effects and familiar with Cinema 4D and the 3D animation process. I am highly skilled in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. For many years I have used Final Cut Pro to edit my films. My experience also includes concept art and story development. I am adept with stop motion animation and have working knowledge of experimental animation, including sand, paint on glass, and pixilation.
Although the last four years has been mainly dedicated to my schooling, I was able to do freelance work in animation and graphic design. While freelancing for Converse Marketing, I did commercial work in the advertising industry.
I am willing to learn any new programs in which I am not proficient and I am confident in my skills to adapt easily. I am looking forward to meeting with you to further explore this opportunity to work together.
