About me
Hello,In my 8 years in the industry I’ve worked in animation and graphics at every part of the pipeline from initial concept and pitch material to boards, design exploration, animation, final polish, post production and shipping for air. I’m great with clients and know how to get the best work out of my team. I work procedurally and avoid workflows that trip up the process as well as develop appropriately for the restraints of a job. My firm understanding of character animation leads to emotive, narrative driven motion graphics. Animation is a not a toolset, trick, or button, it comes with its own vernacular and way of thinking. I know what works and why and I’m good at getting to the heart of what people are looking for and reading between the lines of “Make it cool”.
I’m Mike Ricca, and let’s make something spectacular.
