Maelene Naftzger

2D Character and FX Animator

I am a professional 2D Character and FX animator with a BFA in Animation at the Savannah College of Art and Design. My expertise ranges from subtle/expressive character acting and dialogue to sakuga-style action sequences! With experience both in western and eastern pipelines, I have had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of studios including Titmouse Inc., Lightstar Studios, Studio Mir, Knights of the Light Table, Chaos Emporium, and more. Public projects include (but not limited to) X-Men 97', Hi-Fi Rush, Apex Legends, et al.

My production-pipeline skills include directing, supervising, retakes, traditional 2D character and FX animation, rigged animation, storyboarding, concept development, compositing, 3D animation, and much more. Although most of my work is digital, I am also well-versed in various traditional media, including but not limited to illustrative media and costume design.

My passion and drive sparks from my ability to inspire and influence others through the life I give to my work. Every animation is a new story, a new character for people to connect with and relate to, and a new opportunity to inspire others in some way. I love to learn, and I am continually finding ways to push limits and expand my knowledge through research and practice.
