Bas Raven is a freelance 3D animator and animation teacher who’s worked on animated features, commercial animation and Virtual Reality

I adore animating characters for a living and it's a special feeling to connect with people through this art form. The thing I enjoy most about animation is the wide variety of acting and movement I get to explore with every production. I am no stranger to animating humans and creatures such as dogs, cats, rats, bats, birds and dinosaurs. Pushed and stylized animation instantly makes my heart go faster but I do not shy away from animating a more realistic style.

I was trained by professional animators at the international online animation school 'Animation Mentor’. Besides shooting reference and pushing poses, I'm happily teaching and mentoring animation students and people that would like to switch careers into the animation industry.
