Hi. I am a 30 year old college graduate from RIT with BFA in film/animation. I have a passion for the art of illustration and filmmaking, most specifically animation. I specialize in the mediums of 2D animation, stop motion and after effects animation. I'm also a traditional artist who creates a lot of character designs and fantasy/syfy creature designs. I also have a lot of experience and interest in story boarding, editing, graphic design, puppet and set building. Programs I am proficient with include TvPaint, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Toon Boom and Dragon Frame. Anyone who knows me would tell you that I’m someone who enjoys embracing the strange and unusual. I’m the type of person who looks at something like a bird and thinks, “ you know that isn’t weird enough. How about we give it a squid body, now its better.” It’s the desire to create something new, or a fresh take on something familiar the drives me to want to create. I am someone who works great collaborating with others and working in a group. Heres the link to my personal website where you can find a lot of my animations, character designs, creature designs, and personal art work. http://www.ryankovar.com/ Link to resume: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19AiVFVcAUdPZpoLnfd8fqJFy75I5FyU1REQ1lOTrYOM/edit#heading=h.5x0d5h95i329
