Nicholas St. Clair - Senior Animator

    Hello!

    My name is Nick. I'm an animator currently based out of Vancouver, B.C. working for Sony Pictures Imageworks.

    I've been working in the animation industry for over 6 years, primarily in feature film VFX. I have worked on over 16+ productions and have experience working in many styles of animation, from photoreal to highly stylized. I am adept at both character and creature work and love sharing my work and animation knowledge whenever possible. Whether completely key frame, mocap or a mix of the two, laying keyframes and creating memorable performances is what I crave!

    I'm a graduate of AnimationMentor.com, iAnimate.net, and Southern New Hampshire University's Design Program. When I'm not spending my free time with my family and friends I'm always trying to further my skill with things like learning to code, updating this site, posting on my blog, or crafting new animation tests.

    Please take a moment to browse through my resume below. You can also find a printable version here.
