Summary
While my foci are Story Art and 3D art, my experience covers many different forms (modeling, rigging, animating, storyboarding, and art direction). As a teacher for nearly a decade I also value education and the arts which is why I spend some of my time to that end. Portfolio at https://nathonrodrigues.com/

Experience
- Art Director at Moonslice ProductionsChicago, United States of AmericaAugust 2018 - Present
Art Director, collaborating with the Director, to help with look development for the film (Rain & Thunder) as well as on integration of animation for some of its parts. Created storyboards and proof-of-concept video clips to show the director, as well as process documents to help other artists recreate the desired look and feel.
- Storyboard Artist/Animator/3D Generalist at DePaul UniversityChicago, United States of AmericaSeptember 2015 - August 2018
I worked on a variety of short film and video game projects during my time at DePaul University. I was fortunate enough to wear many hats and learn quite a bit in the process. The gist of my experience comes through as a Storyboard Artist. My degree was in Animation and I did do quite a bit of that as well. Working in 3D has always been a passion for me and it was wonderful to get to do so much of that here.
- 3D Conceptual Designer at DePaul Project BluelightChicago, United States of AmericaSeptember 2017 - November 2017
Created environmental and character concepts for a short film that is still in production with the working title "Production Line". Collaborated with the director and other artists to help trouble shoot various challenges related to modeling, rigging, animating, & compositing. This was intended to be a stop-motion film so a lot of the concept work was done digitally, some of the characters and stage items were 3D printed for reference.
