Dave Alvarez has been a storyboard, layout and character artist for companies like Warner Bros, Nickelodeon, Disney and others.

"I'm in love with the entire process of animation. From the first few concept sketches to the fully composited and finished scenes. Due to some health issues, I realized I would likely never be a full-time artist, but that won't stop me from being a part of the field that I love. Currently, I’m a PA at Studio Smokescreen, a bridge studio in LA. My goal in animation is to uplift others as a producer, and knowing the ins-and-outs of the pipeline and process and connecting with artists on a creative level is something I strive to achieve."

I'm actually a designer that had too much fun making motion graphics. In my first real job as an animator, I end up implementing Harmony's cut-out animation into the studio I started, using rigs for animation was such a leap on my carer, providing a lot of speed on production. On my own time, I'm always trying to put my ideas into practice, creating pitches and having fun with it all!
