Melanie Woodington

Hello, I’m Melanie Woodington. I will graduate in May 2025 with a BFA in Animation and Visual Effects with emphasis in 3D Animation from the Academy of Art University. Since childhood, I have had a strong connection to the arts. I grew up watching animated films, and I’ve spent countless hours creating and sketching characters. My studies at the University have only fueled my passion for character animation and storyboarding. Animation excites me because of the opportunity to bring ideas to life using what I’ve learned, whether through personal experience or from feedback as a collaborative team member. I specialize in biped characters but also have experience animating quadruped characters. I am proficient in Autodesk Maya for both animation and modeling, and I utilize Adobe Premiere and After Effects. I love to add creative spins to my work, while always keeping a “director’s eye” focus on the vision and scope of the project. My goal after graduation is to improve my skills through further study and experience as I pursue a career as a 3D character and creature animator.
