René Morin

I am currently a Seneca Polytechnic Game Art and Animation postgraduate student with an Undergraduate degree in Studio Art at the University of Guelph. I have professional work experience in 2D animation, 2D graphic design, post production video editing and photography, but am working towards expanding myself into the 3D realm. I have experience with many programs, the most notable ones being DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop, Substance Painter, Unreal, Maya, Houdini, and Zbrush.

For the past year I have been working as a YouTube editor, graphic designer and content creator for the Lords of War YouTube channels and brand. I have managed the editing, scheduling and posting of daily YouTube videos and additional content between two channels, created thumbnail images for each of my edited videos, as well as daily posts to Instagram and Facebook. With this position, I also collaborated with two content creators to deliver the Lords of War brand. This was developed through the social medial and YouTube content as well as my own merchandise designs and store promotion. I also managed and organized gaming and hobby related events for the store. I have also volunteered and professionally worked as Assistant Director to Tane Uribarren of Wolf and Fox films for short films, such as “Out of Time” and “After School Echoes”. I also produced a short animation to be used in “After School Echoes” and an additional short animation for the Wolf and Fox films studio to use as their film introduction.

I am currently a student at Seneca Polytechnic, studying in their Game Art and Animation postgraduate course, where I have been developing my 3D skills on Unreal, Maya, Houdini, Zbrush and Substance Painter. I have also completed my Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art at the University of Guelph, where I had a focus on videography, editing, animation and photography and developing my skills in programs such as Da Vinci Resolve and the Adobe Suite.
