Hey there! I'm Ben, and I am a 21 year old 3D animator based in Chicago, IL. I'm just about to graduate from Columbia College Chicago with a degree in Computer Animation. I've taken a heavy interest in game animation, but I'm always excited for the opportunity to work for film and TV. Imagine this, you're watching an animated movie with a group of your friends. Suddenly, one of them speaks up abruptly, interrupting the cool fight scene you all are watching. This friend talks your ear off about the "science" behind why the animation looks good (like a total dork). This friend is me. Something about me is that I am the kind of animation nerd who asks himself why animations look good, and how one can achieve this. This aspect about myself became more apparent as I continued furthering my animation skills. I've given loads of critiques to fellow animators on a team, I've co-directed a short film with an amazing class of 25 others. I've even taught some of my tricks to newer animators. I'm incredibly passionate about many projects, and I can't wait to enter the industry with my talents in order to inspire future artists!…Hey there!
