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.
