Hi!

My name is Michelle Dankowitz, and I’m a recent 3D Animation & VFX graduate from SVA in NYC. I’m a CG artist who loves lighting and look-development/texturing, but I can also do character and environment/prop modeling. I have some experience with CG compositing (currently working to enhance my skills in this area), and advanced skeleton rigging, as well as basic animation.

For my senior thesis, I worked with my friend/thesis partner Cara Fulton, who is a character animator and character/prop modeler, on a short film called ‘Beach Trip!’ where I was the light and look dev lead, as well as the main compositor and we split up our character and environment modeling. It was a very rewarding project where I enjoyed creating and entertaining people through exciting visuals to make people laugh and have a great time.

Whether it is on a personal project or a collaboration with others, I enjoy exploring the CG pipeline, and gaining more experience!
