Dana Earle Church




Animator, Camera Operator, DV Operator, Director, Editor, Grips, Lighting Camera, Producer, Production Manager, Writer
About:
My main working background is in CG animation as an Artist/Animator, CG Supervisor, and Producer/Project Manager. For over 15 years I have created videogames, multimedia titles, and an animated television series. Building on studio and location filming experience on BBC drama and comedy, I have worked freelance in a variety of production roles (see Credits) on several independent Live-action shorts, documentaries, and industrials shot on DV and (S)16/35mm. With both Live-action and CGI animation production disciplines I have the breadth and depth to fully exploit merging media with innovative applications and problem solving solutions. To date I have made 80+ CG and Live-action short films. A Dual UK/US citizen I am eligble to work within the EU and US.

Additional Information




Highly motivated, I possess the organisational, analytical and personnel skills, flexibility, and self-disciplined focus required to work a single large project or several smaller projects concurrently. I enjoy the varied logistics of devising and steering a project from pre-production to a deliverable product; devising and managing budgets and schedules, negotiating deals - getting the most bang for the least buck. With a good head for numbers and abstraction, combined with knowledge of production mechanics, I take a meticulous yet fluid approach to budgeting, scheduling and planning. Taking pride in a job well done, I am a hands-on team player who likes to be always challenged and engaged. Energetic and enthusiastic I relish the buzz and hurly-burly of a production environment, bringing enthusiasm and professionalism to the job at hand. Seeking projects I can immerse myself in, I like to get things done, while having some fun along the way.
