Jonathan Gibney
Director, 3D Animator, Modeler, Lighter
Hey! I’m Jonathan; originally from Wilton, Connecticut. I specialize in 3D animation with a concentration in character acting. On this film, I worked in several fields such as; writing, directing, modeling, animating and lighting. A year on this project flew by in an instant while working with some of the most brilliant and dedicated people I’ve ever met. It truly was an unforgettable experience. I look forward to what the future has in store for each of us.
Victor Garritano
Producer, Rigger, Cloth Sim, Lighter
Hey-howdy! I’m Victor and I moved from Austin, Texas to expand my knowledge of technical animation by learning about all the aspects of a film production pipeline. During this project I was so fortunate to be involved in task tracking, taking/sharing production notes, upholding our production pipeline and helping everyone on the team in almost every department; I couldn’t have asked to be on a more amazing team! I was also responsible for helping kick off Previs with proxy rigs, cloth sim, lighting, and modifying our village environment to look “destroyed”.

Rachel Clinton
3D Animator, Modeler, Texture Artist, VFX, Voice of The Boy
Hi! I’m Rachel and I’m from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I’m a 3D animator, but I also used my skills in previs, prop modeling, and texturing for The Boy. I had some heavy acting and physicality shots, some crow animations, and hand-painted textures for props like the bed, the hatchet, and the mom. I also got to voice act for our main character, Lief, and put together this book. I had such a blast working with this team and will cherish the time we made this film together!

I’m Joseph, a 3D animator from Las Vegas! I mostly did 3D animation on The Boy but I also helped out with storyboarding, previs, and 2D animation!
Hello! I’m Heidi and I’m from Portland, Oregon. I’m a 3D animator and mainly led animation dailies, but I also helped texture and rig for The Boy. Early on, I helped with screen direction in the storyboards and directing cameras in previs. I helped texture the characters and some props. Some of my favorites were the teapot, the necklace, the rock pile, and Bjorn’s sword. The best part about this film was watching the team come together with unique talents and inspire each other with the effort and creativity put into every single part of this film.
