THE ART OF
JEREMY NATHANIEL
I'm a 3D artist passionate about storytelling and bringing characters and worlds to life. I am from the BYU Animation program, trained under mentors from Disney, Pixar and DreamWorks, and I have worked on film and game projects recognized with Student Emmy and Student Academy Awards. I'm excited to help you on your next project!
CG Generalist:
Throughout the projects I’ve worked on, I’ve developed a versatile skillset across tools such as Maya, Unreal Engine, Cinema 4D, After Effects, Nuke, and Houdini. My experience spans modeling, rigging, animation, scripting, and simulation, allowing me to approach each project with both creative flexibility and technical understanding.
Previs/Layout Artist:
My biggest passion is storytelling, and previs allows me to use my strengths in 3D to create compelling, energetic sequences. Using Maya and Unreal Engine, I’ve helped develop shots for both film and game projects that capture the tone of the storyboards and the director’s intent.
Motion Graphics Artist:
Motion graphics are where I get to explore my experimental side—combining different visual styles to create quick, impactful pieces. Unlike my other collaborative work, many of these are solo projects that span a variety of programs, including Cinema 4D, Blender, and Adobe Suite.
