Matt Kushner

Matt works as a 3D Animator and Web Designer in the greater NY area. From very early in his education Matt has been drawn to Film, Animation and Digital Design. Learning Photoshop and creating cell and claymation shorts led naturally to experimentation with computer animation as a Film Studies major at Wesleyan University. He honed these skills at NYU’s Center for Advanced Digital Applications (CADA) receiving an MS in Digital Imaging and Design. Matt has a solid base of knowledge in areas of the CG arts ranging from 3D production to compositing and motion graphics. In addition, he is a self-taught web designer, using hand-coding and CMS platforms, and integrating 3D talents whenever possible. Currently, Matt is teaching an introductory course to Maya at his undergraduate alma mater, Wesleyan University, and freelancing in Web Design, Film, and Advertising. He has worked both as a generalist and as a specialist with a focus on modeling, rigging and animation. Matthew Lane Smith
