Giusi Marrone
Teacher/ Gobelins, l’école de l’image/ Annecy/France
I've been working as a 3D character animator for 22 years and I also have been teaching 3D character animation with Maya at the Gobelins (France) since 2014.
I had the opportunity to work on different types of projects like Feature films, short films, music videos, commercials in different countries like France, Italie, England and Germany.
I started my career in 1990 when there were not so many schools teaching 3D animation, to learn how to use this new technology and combine it to the traditional principles of animation. I like to share my love of the craft with passionate people who'd love to get further in this infinite universe of creativity, technology and art.I hope you'll enjoy sharing this passion with me.
Specialties: Character Animator and teacher with Maya.
