My name is Lauren Kimball, I am a 22 year old recent graduate with a double major in both 2D and 3D animation. My primary focus is in character animation, but I also specialize in character concept design, story boarding, and 3D modeling. I am a part time animator at Film-It Productions under director Darla Rae. My recent work includes animating the introduction to "Making Burros Fly" and doing some editing and graphics work for "Dandy Kids", a documentary about children with Dandy Walker Syndrom.
A good portion of my free time I dedicate to my animated short, "Perchance To Dream",
a film about the Killer Whale Lolita (aka Tokitae) who lives at the Miami Sea
Aquarium in Florida. Progress for my short can be read in my blog.
What free time remains, I dedicate to reading books, drawing, volunteering
with the local Wolf Sanctuary, and spending time with my dog & loved ones.
As far as applications go, I prefer using Autodesk Maya for 3D work, a
combination of paper and Toon Boom for 2D work, and when my work calls for
editing, Final Cut Pro is my preference. (For a complete list of the softwares
I use, please e-mail me for my resume.)
A big part of my website is my loveable, wolf character Tsuki. Tsuki was the main
character of my very first animated experiment in Maya back in 2004. The animation wasn't
much, but it indeared Tsuki to my heart. Now she's situated herself as my official mascott.
