Hi
I'm Jono Mafi and I'm a passionate 3D and VFX generalist with a well balanced CG skill-set.
I bring to projects an artistic eye for detail with a strong affinity towards light and colour theme setting.
I can model and texture 3d scenery and bring it to life with weighted animation and character expression.
Along with a strong technical understanding of CGI I can also code and develop 3d pipelines and mini applications.

Interests & Hobbies
In my spare time I love to read, write and create animated stories! I believe story is key, first and foremost to creating an effective animation or visual effects piece.
I love playing with light and colour and do a little photography when I can (image on left is 3d)
I also sing and song-write, play piano and guitar and semi-play the drums when no-one's looking. When I get the chance I enjoy engaging in philosophical debate.
In days gone by I used to break-dance...but now I would probably just break - something...
I enjoy a good game of social soccer (playing NOT watching) and a good game of rugby (watching NOT playing).
In keeping with my Tongan side I love eating tropical fruit, fish and taro. I like to eat healthy organic and love the tropical weather!
