Martin Greenall CV
As an animator I’ve strived to be creative, hard working and deliver what was expected of me in a timely fashion and as part of the development process I've regularly liaised with Design, Character Leads and programmers in order to implement my animations. This has meant problem solving and developing ideas where they were needed so that the character functioned properly and animated to specific requirements.
