More About Micha’El

POLYKRAFT: def. a person capable of polymathy and guided by moral law.

I've been working in the creative space now for over ten years and have gathered many skills in various concentrations. For this reason, I'm entirely opposed to the use of GenAI for the arts. As a polykraft, I feel that it hinders humans from true artistic growth and takes resources not only away from the environment, but from the very artists whose works give the technology breath. Partner with me if you desire authentic work.

MY EXPERTISE

(1) CINEMATOGRAPHY

From storyboarding, to post production, I'm capable of performing every aspect of filmmaking. I work primarily in films and content creation.

(2) ART

The first skill I acquired, art is still a favorite of mine. Having done everything from illustration for published books to game art.

(3) ANIMATION

I'm a student of both traditional 2-D animation (frame by frame), and also skeletal animation (Spine 2-D), and have utilized both of these skills in my professional career.

(4) MUSIC

A have created music for games, film, and content in the genres of orchestral, rock, hip-hop, and jazz.

(5) SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

My primary skillset throughout my career had been Unity/C#. I have, however, expanded to React/React Native, Node.Js, GraphQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL; building my skill as a full-stack dev.

(6) CAD/Set Design

This is a relatively new skill I’ve been working on. Having done film work for a while, I recently desired to learn this crucial aspect of the process. Both designing sets and seeing them through being built is very fulfilling.

MOTIVATION

Creating worlds is what sparks my desire to innovate. I love reaching into the winds of the hyper-plane to grab ideas. From there, its a matter telling stories based on those themes, bringing characters and worlds from the land of dreams into the plane of Reality.
