Bio page of Thomas Heimann, animator

Hello, I'm Thomas Heimann, a traditionally trained animator with over 25 years of experience in video game development. Welcome to my site.

My philosophy of quality animation is simple: the hand of the animator should disappear leaving only the illusion of life.

I grew up on Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, and Ray Harryhausen. I didn't know it at the time but my life as an animator began at 12 when my mom bought me my own super 8 camera. I began obsessively making claymation westerns, cut paper comedies, and neighborhood horror movies. I started animating professionally in the era of paper and pencils, then worked my way into game development through the animation department.
As a professional animator, I have experience in creating engaging and lifelike animations for video games, television, and film. With years of experience in the industry, I have worked on several successful game titles across a wide range of platforms.

I live in Austin Texas with my partner and our three dogs. When I'm not animating you can find me in my studio drawing or sculpting. After all these years, I still love what I do! Thanks for visiting.
