Hi, I’m Shayne.

This is a collection of some of my animation.

I am a New York City based animator with over 16 years of experience creating VFX and fully CG commercials. Most of my work has been animating and supervising animation on VFX character and creature spots. I’m interested in any chance to work with a team of artists to bring something to life.

I also have a good deal of experience doing previs and layout work. I really love figuring out where to point a camera or how shots should come together to tell a story.

I enjoy rigging assets, writing animation tools in python, and even tackling tricky camera stitching and plate projections. For me, the more “how do we do this?” a project is, the better. I like solving problems.

I graduated from SVA in 2008 and spent the first 11 years of my career at Framestore NY- where I eventually became a Senior Animator and the Deputy Head of the CG department.

In 2019, I left to help start up Free Range VFX, working to establish a pipeline and produce quality spots with a very small team. I’ve had the opportunity to creatively oversee and direct a few spots and it’s a process I’ve really enjoyed.

I also have been a thesis instructor at SVA for over 10 years where I guide students in animation and visual storytelling as they complete their films for graduation.

I am currently available for freelance work - be that on the box animation, animation supervising, or creative direction.
