TWINMOTION
Skills are developed over time and I believe each day brings new challenges. Only so much can be learnt through a class but the extra little skills come with every new project being being different and the clients requests. Everyone has their own unique way of saving time to produce the projects on time. Additional skills worthy but not highlighted include Microsoft documents, Revit Architecture, HTML, CSS and AWS, of which this website is written and hosted on.
Specialties
In addition to the main skills, I believe these other points should be added. Video composition and rendered animations have always been a passion, the acquirement of such powerful processors hasn't been easy. I have a great desire to fully learn VR/AG and robotic technologies.
