Angie Jones began her feature film career as a CG character and creature animator, with early credits including Stuart Little 2, recipient of the VES Award for Outstanding Character Animation, and X-Men 2, where she animated the iconic Nightcrawler White House attack sequence under Academy Award-winning VFX Supervisor Mike Fink at Cinesite Hollywood.
Her career spans more than 150 productions across feature films, television, AAA games, commercials, cinematics, and emerging media, with credits spanning Pan's Labyrinth, Red Dead Redemption, Fortnite, Valorant, and Academy Award-winning productions including Avatar: The Way of Water.
