Hello! My name is Ian Wilmoth, I am a 3d/VFX Generalist with 10+ years experience. My animation degree project at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) won numerous awards and screened in national and international film festivals. I’ve worked on award-winning advertising spots, episodic, shorts, narrative and documentary features, music videos, interactive, and experiential. I have freelanced for leading post houses, VFX companies, ad agencies, and animation studios including Psyop, The Mill, Brand New School, Hornet, Imaginary Forces, Method, Company3, Technicolor, Dentsu, FCB, Interbrand, and Rough Draft Studios. I use Maya, Zbrush, Nuke, After Effects, PFtrack, Redshift, Vray & more. I bring the most value to the table by working on smaller teams in adjacent roles, minimizing handoffs between artists as production goes forward, but I am also happy to pinch-hit in any discrete role on productions of any scale.
I have worked with many well known IPs and brands including Harry Potter, Futurama, Beauty and the Beast, The Spiderwick Chronicles, Honda, Sony, Microsoft, Nike, MTV, Disney, Netflix, and Hulu. Music videos for hits by Beyonce, MGMT, LCD Soundsystem, and Bag Raiders that I contributed to have gone viral online, been used in popular memes, and collectively viewed almost 500 million times on Youtube. Broadcast TV, streaming, and theatrically released projects I’ve worked on have also had viewership in the millions.
I work with clients in a variety of ways depending on the project’s needs- Modeler, Look Dev, Lighter, Character Animation, Dynamics, CFX, VFX, Post, Rigging, etc. I do previs and postvis. For smaller projects I can also composite and color grade. I am an on-set VFX supervisor, and I can be a 3d team lead. And I’m learning AI. Heck, what DONT I do? Well, Im not a designer, im not a 2d animator/mograph artist, and Im not a TD/programmer.
I am grateful to be privileged to have worked with so many leading brands, popular musicians and IPs, top VFX and animation studios, and most importantly, my talented fellow artists and professional colleagues, over the course of a diverse and never boring career. The community has truly been the most rewarding part. I have met some of my favorite people in the world through the field of 3-D animation and VFX. Thanks for checking out my work! What can I do for you?
