Shapeshifting graphic artist, aspiring production designer and a die hard internet junkie.

I like telling stories with moving pictures, but before I do, I love making a proper research (give it up for the nerdy crowd!!)

Profile

Lorena Salas Reyes
Animator / Visual development artist
Animation | Toronto, Canada Area, CA

Summary

I'm passionate about animation, and thankfully, I've been able to develop my skills professionally by working in the entertainment industry (2D/3D animation as well as concept art for games).

I've participated in short and full-length animated films as both an animator and a visual development artist. I've worked my way up from the clean-up department to visual development and animation area.

My goal at the moment is to become a strong storyteller by working in a creative environment that challenges me everyday to keep on polishing my skills and innovate. I want to contribute to the world by helping create great stories and bring them to life, be it on screen and/or videogame form.

“Did you have any nightmares?”- He asked, recalling her saying she would have ill dreams after that night.

“Surprisingly, I did not.” - She managed to voice out while turning away. She continued to speak inside her mind: “If anything, it was all the opposite. I was back to our last 10 minutes together the night before…and I dreamt about the kiss we were meant to have, the most unexpected kiss in the world.”

She kept resisting, for she knew the dark one posed a threat to her plans of fleeing….but it was too late: he had become the sole thought in her mind.

And this was unacceptable.
