Hello. My name is Matt Darnall. I'm an Animation Director, Creative Director, serial doodler, and all-around Art Guy™️ from Chicago, IL.
From broadcast television, film, and entertainment, to design and motion identities for brands - I've enjoyed leading teams in traditional animation, narrative CG character pieces, film title sequences, VFX-driven creative, and brand-defining motion graphics.
I am passionate about the visual arts, collaboration, painting, filmmaking, smooooooth keyframes, storytelling, beer league hockey, and grilling by myself in complete silence. I love my wife, I love my boys, and I love my pooch named Swayze.
You can find me CDing and pixel-pushing at Hue+Cry in the obnoxiously charming city of Richmond, VA. 🤙
