I’m a 2D animator currently working a paid position as an animation intern at Nelvana and student under the Sisler CREATE program. I participated in the Orange Tree Project under the guidance of Nickelodeon mentors as an animator for an animated short, and co-lead for series development. My team scored 7th overall in the 24 Hour Animation Challenge, and I’ve worked with the NHL to create content for Filipino Heritage Night. I’ve been able to share my experiences to audiences at Ottawa International Animation Festival, Toon Boom Animated Trends Event as well as students in California.

I'm Chris and I am a 2D FX animator and department head for Jam Filled Entertainment in Ottawa. I have been fortunate enough to work on projects like Final Space and Next Gen on Netflix, The Loud House and The Casagrandes with Nickelodeon, as well as game cinematics including League of Legends, Brawlhalla, Sorcerer's Apprentice and Talking Tom. I've been in the industry since 2006 but I've always had a passion for 2D FX animation from the start. I love that we often get to design the 2D FX, not to mention the joy of classically animating everyday.

Mateus is a character animator with over 10 years of experience with Toon Boom Harmony. He have worked in multiple projects, acting as a bridge between the rigging and animation departments due to his technical knowledge of the software and curiosity to solve problems alongside a passion for bringing characters to life. Mateus is captivated by good storytelling, whether it is in movies, books, games or tales told by a campfire. In his personal work, Mateus likes to create characters with sketches and illustrations that have a story to tell and sometimes develop them in quick animation tests and gags.
