About

Samuel Baese

Senior Visualization & Animation Artist based in Los Angeles.

I am a Senior Visualization & Animation Artist with over 10 years of experience across feature films, AAA games, and virtual production.

My expertise is in previs, layout, real-time visualization, and cinematic storytelling, with a strong focus on Maya and Unreal Engine workflows. Throughout my career I have collaborated closely with directors, artists, designers, engineers, and production teams to help bring ideas to life.

I thrive in cross-disciplinary environments where creative and technical problem solving intersect. Whether developing cinematic sequences, refining workflows, or helping teams rapidly visualize ideas, I enjoy finding practical solutions that support both the creative vision and production goals.

A graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, I remain passionate about storytelling, emerging technologies, games, and film.

Outside of work, I'm a husband and father of two girls. I love spending time with family and exploring the South Bay.
