Sam I am.
Profile
My name is Sam Gerard. I was raised in Chandler, Arizona and am currently a Photopass Photographer at Disney's Animal Kingdom as a part of the Disney College Program. I graduated in May 2024 from Northern Arizona University with a BFA in Visual Communication and an Emphasis in Animation. I have an intense passion for motion design, character design, concept art, and other aspects of pre-production; I find that these parts of the animation process are the base of the storytelling medium.
