Dear [Hiring manager's name],
At Bluefin Animation Studio I animate 40 to 50 character shots each season for an 11-episode streaming series, working inside a Toon Boom Harmony pipeline alongside eight other animators. I am drawn to [Studio name]'s Animator opening because your recent work sits closer to the character-driven comedy I grew up wanting to animate, and I am ready to bring a fast, blocking-first workflow to a new room.
Across three consecutive seasons I have held an 85% first-pass shot approval rate from our animation director, and the blocking-first review process I pitched cut average revision cycles per shot from four down to two, a change the studio adopted for every animator on the show. Earlier, at Nightowl Motion, I rigged and animated 20-plus playable character cinematics for a mobile title that reached 3 million downloads in its first quarter.
I move comfortably between Toon Boom Harmony for 2D episodic work and Maya, where I hold an Autodesk Certified Professional credential, for keyframe and cinematic animation. I clean motion-capture data when a shot calls for it, coordinate directly with riggers and layout artists before a shot ever reaches the director's desk, and I mentor two junior animators on timing and lip sync each season.
I would welcome the chance to talk through a shot from my reel with your team and hear what [Studio name] has in production next. I can share a private link to unreleased work under NDA if that is useful. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Fatima White
