My name is Tianze Fan. I graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in the United States and have nearly two years of animation work experience in Crafty Apes LLC.
During my undergraduate and master's studies, I undertook the teaching assistant work of the "3D Character Animation: Believability and Nuance" course in the school, with high academic sensitivity and project execution ability.
I have participated in international art practice, with strong design foundation, high hand drawing ability, and the courage to innovate.
I am proficient in Maya and other 3D animation design tools, master the workflow of 3D animation and visual effects animation, and proficient in Office, Photoshop and other office and graphic design software.
I have strong learning ability, efficient coordination and organization and communication ability, strong ability to work under pressure, and strong innovative awareness.
