Jared Castanares

My name is Jared Castanares, I come from Fremont, California, and I’m a 2D animation major. I specialize in Character Animation and Storyboarding. I also do Visual Development for Character design and Backgrounds as well. Growing up, I’ve always enjoyed drawing and making up characters. When it came to animation, it changed my life when I learned how to bring those characters to life. From a young age, my influences were all over the place, from movies, video games, music, and the early stages of internet culture. I always took in what looked interesting and cool to me and put my own twist on it for my work.
