2011 reel - before MA studies. Check my YouTube channel and see how much I improved.
Hi! I'm Raff (formally Rafal) and I'm currently a 24 year old animator living in Middlesbrough, UK.
I was born in January 1988 in Warsaw. For my higher education I chose BA (Hons) Computer Games Modelling and Animation at University of Derby (Great Britain). I've learned there many great things and aqquired essential skills to be an Graphic Artist. Also, I felt - well, hard to say - that 'something' to animation (if you're interested in 'How Raff started his journey with animation', please read this).
After I graduated, I started thinking of internship to boost my qualifications. Since October 2010, I was working in 'Simple Frame' post-production studio in Warsaw. There is no better way to learn new skills in such a fast tempo than working in a group, especially doing commercial work. For 9 months I was doing 3D art and animation for many customers. Also, I learned how to use Avid DS, which made me a good online artist.
In summer 2011 I decided to continue my education, especially in 3D animation field in which I was most interested. So, since October 2011 I've been studying MA Digital Character Animation at University of Teesside, Great Britain, and I think I'm doing great.

Post-production: Maciej Szymanowski
Car model (stock model), was animated by single controller, so it is possible to adjust animation speed really easy.
Also, I've created whole environment and converted car materials to V-Ray.
