Who am I?

Michele Boldoni, Character Rigger

I was born in 1982. I live in Rome, now.

I have been through several jobs, and experiences, that have led me to find a job that has become my biggest passion.

I make 3D Animation Movies and Series.

Even though I've always wanted to be a basketball champion.

These are my current roles:

What's my Job?

I am a Rigger. I create the body structures that allow Animators to bring characters to life.

I use deformers and joint chains to create real-life deformations of the skin, hairs, cloths, as well as facial exspressions of the puppets.

I work with MEL/Python language to develope useful animation and rigging scripts.

I'm also familiar with Modeling, Grooming, FX, Animt Tech department and I work with them to realize the assets.

I handle Mocap and I teach Rigging.

But first of all, above all, I'm a Rigger.

And there is nothing I like to do better.
