Xavier Coton Adjunct Faculty
I was born in France, and it is where I started my career as a traditional animator. I moved to California in 2000 and transitioned to 3D animation. I have been animating in the game and vfx industry for various studios such as Playstation, MPC, Framestore, Blur Studio and Weta Fx. My style ranges from cartoon style such as Goldfish commercials to more photo real live action films like “Transformers” or “The Flash”.
As an instructor I hope students will find passion in their art, without forgetting the fundamental… FUN.
