Gary Scott Whitton

Character Animator

Personal Statement:

Currently looking to continue my career in animation at a company which offers a progressive environment. I'm an enthusiastic, creative and ambitious 3D animator with a great passion for the art form. My long-term career aspirations include becoming lead animator on an award winning games title or film and eventually directing my own short or feature. Essentially, I just want to be proud of the work I'm doing which I believe is a great motivating factor; ensuring maximum effort and continual self improvement.
