Hello and thanks for looking at my online portfolio. My name is Ben Grangereau and I am a Concept Artist at Industrial Light and Magic, in San Francisco.
I’ve worked in the visual arts business since graduating from Drexel University in 2007, and my path has taken me through many of the disciplines in the field. I started out as an animator, then lighter, then 3D Generalist, before becoming 3D Lead, and finally Concept Artist. My job today brings all of those experiences ….
OBJECTIVE:
Seeking to create moving images that tell a story and connect with an audience in a meaningful way.
As a 3D Generalist, I am responsible for finding the best technical approach to realize the director’s artistic vision, utilizing my skills in modeling, texturing, animation, rigging, simulation and lighting. I can work in photo-realistic or stylized worlds, and am comfortable with either taking on entire shot myself, or working in a pipeline of specialized artists. My strengths are in 3d modeling, technical animation and digital camera work (previs).
