Just a few sentences about me
After graduation from the Digital Film Program at the SAE ( School of Audio Engineering ) in 2001 I made a former hobby to my profession and worked in the film industrie as an freelance animator and CG allrounder. Over the last 18 years I worked on different feature films at companies like Double Negative, Trixter, CA Scanline, Ambient Entertainment, Motion Works and Cartoonfilm, including life action shots with match move integration, crowd shots, cartoon style and rather realistic animation. I have got a solid knowledge of the complete Feature Animation workflow from pitch, animatic, layout, blocking to final animation. I am proficient in creature and cartoon style animation and worked effectively with different 3D packages such as Maya and 3ds max. Besides Animation I did rigging and modelling on several Feature Film and Commercial productions.
Testimonals
To Whom It May Concern, Please accept this letter as my testimony to the extraordinary artistic accomplishments of Thomas Voss.....
To Whom It May Concern, Our company specialises in Digital Imaging and 3D Animation. We frequently use a variety of subcontractors to work on our projects.
To Whom It May Concern, Thomas Voß was contracted to Triprod in 2002/2003 as the computer graphic artist and character animator on the production Pilot Avatar for the German VW Autostadt.
Autodesk Maya is my favorite software for animation, rigging and modelling. I have a in depth knowledge of 3ds max. Maybe deep enough to love maya :-) ... just kidding. Besides this 2 major applications I used different other specialized Software like Motionbuilder for Mocap cleanup, zBrush for Digital Sculpting. I like to learn new software and workflows.
Photoshop is the my main tool for pixelbased image editing. For 3D Texturing I use Adobe´s SubstancePainter. For vector based image editing I like to use Inkscape. This freeware tool is a masterpiece in functionality and simplicity. I have a profound knowledge of Aftereffects and Fusion for Compositing.
