Raphael LaMotta

About

With a robust background in higher education administration from The New School, I have carved a dynamic career in animation and technical direction since 2005. As a Senior Animator and On Set TD, I have collaborated with industry giants like Marvel, Disney, and Netflix, showcasing my versatility in AE/C4D/Nuke and MoCap across TV, film, and events. My role as Creative Director for Cypress Hill involved designing album covers and creating music video animations. I have contributed to high-profile projects at LAUNDRY, King and Country LLC, and FORME, specializing in motion capture, VFX, and UI animation. My expertise extends to event installation production, having recently overseen technical and creative setups at LaMotta.studio. With a reputation as a senior generalist and FX supervisor, I continue to deliver innovative solutions in the ever-evolving landscape of animation and visual effects.
