John Hanley Project Lead Lead Asset and Character Designer
John Hanley is finishing a second degree at Academy of Art University in San Francisco, Ca. He is the Producer, and Lead Modeler of Silver Coin.
John is originally from Chicago, where he finished his degree in philosophy, and continued his education in animation.
"With a background in philosophy, and interests in psychology
and sociology, I ventured into 3D. Currently finishing a
bachelor's in 3D Modeling, I've tended to focus on broadening
my skill set to cover more than only modeling, but also basic rendering,
rigging and animation. I have been delving further recently,
and with each project coming to understand and hopefully
master the art of video game and film quality renderings.
I am always eager to learn more and to help others."

Margot Cannon Lead Animator
At one point or another, I looked at myself and thought, 'Kid, what the hell are you good at?' When nothing much came to mind, I set out to San Francisco and the Academy of Art University.
6 years later, they're kicking me out.
I'd greatly like to think these years of goofing around hard work and dedication have made me into the animator I claim to be today. That is to say, one you'd like to hire.
Originally from Portland, OR and Olympia, WA, I know a great deal about fish, trees, rain, novelty space needles and art.
