Hi there, would love to know more details about this. Where can I send over the info? do you have an email or do you prefer a message here?
Hi there,
Check out my short reel here 
I’ve been working within Unreal Engine 5 steadily for nearly a year now, and have done several mini-projects on my own now (shown in video above).
I come from the sales/marketing industry and have built a medium sized ecommerce business in Orange County, California. I started as a sales rep in a small business team of 7 individuals and over the months I hired on more staff members, became acting Sales Manager/Coach, and brought in over $530,000 within the first year via my own sales. I pretty much worked 12 hour days along with the founders to help the company go from 6 to 7 figure earnings per year.
I mention the above since the experiences taught me how to work with a remote team, how to effectively prioritize my time, and how to streamline the company (I did a bit of everything at the company on top of my sales responsibilities). In the long run, I left the company due to changes in the company culture so I turned to pursue my passion in film/animation by learning UE.
It turns out… UE is super easy to pick up!
I’m comfortable creating scenes from scratch using:
Vertex painting
Quixel Bridge Assets
Mixamo Animations
Custom Materials with Material Functions
(background made in Gaea)
I can use sequencer to film, edit animations, and create clips:
I can edit and modify existing animations or create them from scratch using Rokoko:
I would love to chat to see if we’d be a good fit in working together! And if you don’t think I am, please let me know what I could do to become a good fit.
Cordially,
Pedro Rico Jr.
