I'm an animator and video editor living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I produce stop motion and 2D animation, videos, time lapses and original music. For commissions, business inquiries or collaboration opportunities please get in touch at derek@dereksalvatore.com !
education
I have a BFA in Animation and History of Art from Massachusetts College of Art & Design in Boston, MA. While there I was lucky enough to travel to Kyoto to spend a semester as the first exchange student between MassArt and Kyoto University of Art & Design in Kyoto, Japan.
日本語/Japanese
I have an avid interest in Japanese culture and I'm conversational in the language. I spent 5 months studying abroad in Kyoto in 2011 and my interest has only deepened since. It’s in dire need of updating but if you're interested here is my Japanese blog on Ameblo.
