Hello, my name is Mick Todd, and I'm an independent contractor specializing in high-end visualizations, cinematic animations, and pitch decks for major intellectual properties in the entertainment industry. I bring creative visions to life based on screenplays, treatments, loglines, and other early-stage concepts.
As a 3D Artist, Art/Creative Director, and Media Design Specialist, I offer a multifaceted background with extensive production experience across AR/VR, feature films, animated features, theme parks, television, video games, comic books, and collectibles.
My work is supported by deep proficiency in industry-standard tools including Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Photoshop, After Effects, Unreal Engine, and the latest in Generative AI animation. I specialize in both 2D and 3D design, including visual development, storyboarding, motion graphics, product mockups, illustrations, style guides, presentations, and cinematic-quality rendering.
In addition to hands-on production, I have significant experience in IP development, including conceptualizing and pitching original content to stakeholders. My collaborations with globally recognized franchises have equipped me with the ability to develop and maintain compelling, cohesive visual narratives across multiple platforms.
Notable IPs I’ve contributed to include:
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, King Kong, Super Nintendo World, Epic Universe, Monsters Unchained, The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Fast and Furious, Jurassic World, The Mummy, Shark Tale, Reign of Fire, Marvel’s Avengers, Spider-Man, Barbie, Peanuts, and Hot Wheels.
With my broad skill set and industry experience, I’m offering my services to help you develop premium visual assets and compelling pitch materials that will capture the attention of stakeholders and investors. I invite you to explore my work online and would love the opportunity to collaborate.
