Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrent Forrest is a Technical Director based in the Greater Tokyo Area with over 15 years crafting animation pipelines, FX systems, and original kids/family IP from concept through production. He blends creative development—story, storyboards and pitches—with hands-on pipeline engineering, having shipped features and shorts like Sonic the Hedgehog films and directed award-recognized short and bumper projects. Known for building production tools that "some of them even work," he connects stylized realtime/offline CG workflows and 2D→3D FX approaches with the right creative and investor partners. Comfortable leading small teams or integrating with global studios, he pairs a storyteller’s eye with pragmatic R&D to launch new projects efficiently. An unconventional strength is his dual fluency in pitch-facing creative roles and low-level pipeline engineering, enabling him to translate artistic goals into robust technical solutions.
