Animator

Matt Crutchfield

A visual storyteller, Matt brings life into objects and characters using video animation, special effects and other visual images. From conceptualization to character design to animation, Matt is a true artist with skills ranging from graphic design and content animation to 3D printing.

Joining CRA in 2022, Matt’s love for art, animation and a good story combined with his expertise rounds out CRA Film’s creative skillsets and capabilities. And, when he isn’t creating for CRA, he’s working on his own projects, usually those of hand-drawn animation and illustration.

Matt has two graphic design and new media degrees from Marshall University. During his studies, using photosensitive resin and polylactic plastic, he created a variety of training devices for medical students at the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine to practice techniques like suturing and draining abscesses. Clinical faculty in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology were able to guide students through hysterectomy simulations using 3D-printed anatomy inside a mannequin that Matt spearheaded.
