Hello!

My name is Anirudh Padinjaré. I hold a BFA in Illustration from Parsons School of Design and an MFA in Animation from Savannah College of Arts and Design.

I'm a multi-talented creative artist with a unique and highly imaginative perspective, adept in various styles of illustration and animation, highly skilled as a concept artist, and ready to enrich the world of animation cinema with visually arresting creations infused with a touch of humor. Expertise in tools like Procreate and Autodesk Maya, sketching, storyboarding, color balancing and visual development. Efficient project management and team management skills and demonstrated capability to lead multi-cultural teams.

Experience:

Short Film Creator: "10 Minute Delivery" Project for MFA @SCAD | Savannah, GA March 2024 - May 2024

Inspired by Genndy Tartakovsky of Samurai Jack fame, using 2D animation with minimal character movements, I created the film "10 Minute Delivery" from concept to completion, conceptualizing the story, creating the storyboard, characters, animation, sound design, lighting, and direction. By integrating dynamic camera movements and cyclic animation loops, I captured the essence of Tartakovsky's distinctive style, emphasizing visual storytelling through fluidity of motion.

Short Film Director: "Bad Blood" Project for MFA @ SCAD | Savannah, GA June 2023 - August 2023

Conceptualized story, created storyboard, animated characters, designed sound, lighting and directed the film. Planned composition, camera movement and character movement for each scene. Compiled and edited clips into final film version. Refined film with addition of music and sound effects. Led a 12-member team to create and successfully launch the film within the project timelines.

Script Supervisor: Film "Five:Thirty" (2022) | New York June 2022 - June 2022

Formulated logical, smooth story by selecting and combining most effective shots for each scene. Created fluid, seamless shots through effective use of different camera angles at specific points. Created continuous whole by organizing and stringing together raw footage, carefully following script and director instructions. Achieved screening of film at local theatre in New York City.

Freelance Designer | New York January 2021 - July 2022

Illustrated and developed commissioned artworks for companies and individuals. Created portraits and designed tattoos. Conceptualized and designed Posters and Album covers for local and upcoming filmmakers and musicians with works presented on Apple Music, Spotify, and SoundCloud. Increased the number of views by two times on my social media platform and have received over 1000 views per post.

I'm the Go To Man for creating and managing artwork that demands creativity, imagination, teamwork and deadlines.
