Award-winning animator for 7+ years. I am quick (like lightning) without sacrificing quality. My past clients range from Disney to Warner Bros to Hasbro. I also teach young aspiring animators.

Shane
Animation
I came to Bark looking for a professional to answer some questions I had about the animation industry and Allison was quick to respond and was exceedingly helpful.
Dan
I hired Lightning Animation for 3 animations in a hand-drawn style. These animations will help us tell complex tech stories in 5-9 second looping animations.
The quality is excellent. Delivery was quick, we had a schedule and they worked with it throughout. Responsiveness to feedback and changes was also quick and thoughtful.
I will gladly hire again!

Allison animated a title sequence for a short film I made. She communicated superbly - both tuning in to my creative vision and also offering up her own creative input. She showed a passion about the project and was very receptive to feedback for fine tuning elements. She had the work done very quickly and it was without doubt above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommended!!! More...

Animation
Easy communication, great turnaround. Looking forward to further projects.
What do you love most about your job?
Being able to tell a great story! I love using animation to showcase uniqueness of something or someone, whether it be through a clever facial expression or a great visual effect.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I just realized I had a lot more to offer. Studios tend to only hire you for one specific skillset, and I have passion for a lot of different aspects of animation. And I wanted the opportunity to explore more in the industry.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am very fast, but I am also very passionate about my craft. I love working with people who want to tell stories that are important to them. If you're looking to utilize animation to sell your product or educate your audience or just tell a great story, it has to mean a lot to you. And I care a lot about my clients getting a product that exceeds their expectations.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. My assumption is, we will communicate exclusively online. I'm happy to chat via zoom, and of course, the final product will be delivered virtually.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I haven't needed to make any changes. I work exclusively online, so there's no concerns there.
2D Animation
I've done educational material, short films, mobile games, even pinball. I can storyboard, design characters and environments, provide visual effects, and of course, animate. Characters, creatures, props, whatever is required. I am experienced working in Adobe Animate (Flash), AfterEffects, ToonBoom, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Procreate.
3D Animation
I can animate any character in 3D. I'm excellent at style matching. I'm experienced in both video games and film, and I am comfortable working with lots of different kinds of rigs. I animate in Maya, although I also have experience in MotionBuilder.
2D Visual Effects
I can do 2D visual effects in many different styles. Hand drawn, cartoony style visual effects as well as mock 3D effects like you would find composited in live action films. I typically work in AfterEffects, but I am also familiar with Adobe Animate (Flash), and ToonBoom.
Visual Effects
I can create visual effects in a realistic style, such as a sci-fi gun firing or a person's skin changing color. I do this in AfterEffects.
