About Ryan

I'm Ryan Fry, a father, a husband, and an animator.

 In my career, I have worked on projects for Disney, Netflix, DreamWorks, Mattel, and countless other clients, working on projects for the big screen, the small screen and even the cellphone screen.

 Based out of Metro Vancouver, I bring a decade of experience in keyframe character animation, motion-targeted animation, and instructional and mentorship experience. I have always been incredibly technical in my approach to animation and problem-solving and thrive in a small team environment where there are opportunities to work cross-discipline (animation/tech art/layout). I have also implemented pipeline tools to streamline the animation team's workflow and have a keen aptitude for Python programming.

 The reason I love to animate is because I love the process. I enjoy getting lost in the work, problem-solving, and refining my abilities. I love being in an environment surrounded by creativity and innovation and think that I could bring that to the studio. I am an eternal tinkerer; I find joy in creating, problem-solving, and am curious about how things work and how to improve them. From animation to making electronics to coding, I am always trying to learn and discover something new.

 I am a firm believer in paying it forward so I am currently in the process of creating an animation scholarship and mentorship for aspiring neurodivergent animators from Calgary Alberta with the Quickdraw Animation Society. [https://quickdrawanimation.ca/]
