About Me

My name is Daniel Jardin. I’m currently a Creature Effects Technical Director at Sony Pictures Imageworks , and a graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design where I got my BFA in Visual Effects.  I am a visual effects artist that specializes in Creature Effects, Cloth, Hair, muscle, rigid simulations. I chose  Creature Effects to be my area of expertise because incorporating real world elements such as  cloth, hair and fur, in CG films is what sells it in my opinion.  Great stories accompanied by great effects add to the characters, the plot, and create rich textures pleasing to the eye. Before I pursued my artistic career I was a competitive, endurance cyclist. Being a cyclist has shaped my work ethic and time management skills along with preparing me for the fast-paced short deadline, industry that we live in. Having experience in artistic collaborative projects and a team sport has perfected my skills with communicating and working with others until the job standards have been met.
