Melissa Graziano-Humphrey is a storyboard artist and animator who has worked at Warner Bros., Bento Box, Starburns Industries, Shadow Machine, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, Powerhouse Animation, and 6 Point Harness/6 Point 2. Melissa has also worked as a Toon Boom Harmony consultant and freelance rigger/animator on many independent projects. Since 2014, she has taught Harmony and Storyboard Pro at LAAFA, Studio Arts, and Microdesk and at the college level at Loyola Marymount University, UCLA, and USC.
Unique traits: I work in all different animation media, including traditional (hand-drawn on paper), tradigital (hand-drawn on computer), 3D computer, 2 1/2D computer, stop-motion, and hybrid animation. I am also a puppeteer and can build puppets, props, and sets for live-action puppeteering. My background is in both art and writing as well as film and digital media, so I have an excellent eye for story, characters, and visual storytelling.
