Bio
Adam Kelsey-Giddings
Kris is an extremely adept character rigger and problem solver. He isn't afraid to learn new processes and he incorporates his knowledge in to his future work continually improving his skills. He is a benefit to have on a team and is passionate about the work he creates as well as how it fits in the overall pipeline.
Steve Silver
Kris is passionate. During our time together he was able to come in and adapt quickly to our tech art and character rigging process making him a valuable asset for the team. He found holes and bottlenecks in the process and continuously found new ways to get around them or eliminate them all together. He's a forward thinker who cares about the quality of the work he produces. I would gladly work with Kris again given the opportunity.
