DIGIFREAK – Tony Lee -Freelance 3D/2D Artist-

Profile

About Me

With over 25 years of experience working on commercials, television, film, events, live shows and 360VR.

From conception through to final delivery, I enjoy and perform all aspects of the CGI production process.
Throughout the process, I manage projects to ensure deadlines are met efficiently and within budget, maintaining the highest quality possible.
Most recently, I have developed UNREAL skills, building real-time stage sets and cinematics.

Based in south London, working remotely or onsite, alone or as part of a team, I am equipped with everything you need to complete that project.
