about jamie mccarter

I am a director, supervisor, animator & TD.

Over the past ten years I have been fortunate to work on big blockbusters and small independent productions.  I’ve worked with Aardman Animations, Shynola, Jamie Hewlett, Terry Gilliam, Academy Award winning producer Lars Hellebust, and many other talented people.

I went to school for classical animation and love bouncing between right and left brain problem solving.  As an animator during my first feature film position I was asked to code RenderMan shaders and so I developed a technique for fast subsurface scattering without raytracing and a method of perturbed reflections and refractions without raytracing.  Ever since I have enjoyed bouncing between animating, rigging and RenderMan shading - all of which are in the service of creating memorable characters & creatures.  Recently, I developed a technique for cartoon motion blur with RenderMan.
