I am a freelance 3d character animator/modeler working in Video games and TV series. You can find an updated version of my CV in the Showreel section of my blog.

I am currently working on “Spare Parts”, a new cartoony action adventure game, at EA BrightLight studio in UK, animating but also helping with the modeling, rigging, cutscenes storyboarding and previz.


Previous to that I was working for the legendary Microsoft Game Studio, Rare, in Twycross near Birmingham, producing realistic and cartoony animations for games like the latest instalment of Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo Kazooie “Nuts and Bolts” 3 on the Xbox 360 and the Dashboard Avatars.

A selection of animation can be found on my Game showreel, check it out.

Keith Lango APT training

Keith Lango‘s first APT class (Animation: Personal Trainer) which I would highly recommend to anyone who can’t afford the 18 month Animation Mentor training.

Escape‘s Anatomy for digital artists when they used to charge realistic fees.

I regularly attend CG and animation events (Annecy, 3decembre, Alias Masterclasses, Autodesk roadshows, Siggraph..) .

I love animation but I love practicing fine art too: life drawing, sketching, modelling. I am currently too busy to attend Park Walk classes but once I am a bit more settled I will happily dip my hands in a bag of wet clay.

If you want to talk about Animation, modeling or anything else, fell free to send me an email at dutruc@hotmail.com
