Elements of Imagination
США
Добавлен 8 мар 2016
Hi everyone, my name is Matt Maldonado. I am a Production Designer, Art Director, and Miniature Model Maker working in the Film and Themed Entertainment Industry. I've spent the last decade plus, working on some amazing projects. Working with companies like Universal Studios Hollywood and the Walt Disney Company. Projects including, Halloween Horror Nights, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and spent some time at the edge of a Galaxy at Disneylands Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Currently, I’m spending my days in the Pacific Northwest working with the Art Direction team on LAIKA’s new stop motion masterpiece film “Wildwood”. After years of building things on my own time for friends and family, I felt I should start documenting my journey in these creations and share them with the world. I hope you all enjoy these project videos as much as I do creating them. If you have any questions or want to inquire about getting a custom commission piece of your own, don't hesitate to reach out.

I hope you all enjoy!
