My name is Michael Mendes. I'm a graduate of the 3D Animation program at Humber College and I currently live in Toronto.

Character Animation is my main area of focus. I also have experience modelling, texturing, lighting, compositing and rigging. Due to the nature of these tasks, I also have experience with the programs they involve such as 3D Studio Max, Photoshop, and Adobe Aftereffects. I have a very strong attention to detail, and a natural sense of timing, weight, balance and movement. I love to draw, paint and design just about anything. Bringing a character to life is where my passion is, whether it be through animation or the design process.

I am extremely hard working, self-motivated and passionate about my work. I'm able to work quickly and efficiently, meeting project deadlines and clients' specific needs. I love working cooperatively with a team, but I am also able to work independently and manage my own workflow just as well.
