Forest Hartman Jr. "Bobby"

Animator and Director | Wilmington, NC

Specializing in 2D/3D animation, Forest has a focus on stylized visuals and independent character and world building.

He is the creator of SPACE AF, an original animated universe developed initially as a college project, but quickly centered around his signature character BB oBoBBy. Through shorts, music visuals, and digital loops, he has established a distinct visual style and narrative voice across the internet!

Working primarily in Blender, Forest produces projects from concept and script, through animation, editing, and uploading/sharing online. His work includes short animations for music collaborations and experimental 3D pieces, working with an emphasis on motion, lighting, and style.

He is currently developing "BIONIC", an original feature-length animated film project, with a short film test currently in production.

Forest holds a BFA in Film Studies/Production from UNC Wilmington and is open to relocation and opportunities in animation and story-driven production.
