  Though this was a short contract for a new character a DLC for their game title "Figment" It was a lot of fun and gave the the chance to create some more wacky and cartoony animation.
  
  Super cool studio with lots of personality, loved the experience!

  Devil's Hunt. I was brought on to help polish some of the in-game animations and create new ones where needed for the new IP Devil's Hunt. It has been a fun project to work on and I have reacquainted my self with mo-cap as a tool. Though secretly the stuff that I got to hand key was more fun xD
  
  I would jump at the chance to work on another project with these guys and gals!

  May 2018 - December 2018

  Dublin, Ireland

  On Sherwood, an animated tv show for YouTube Originals, I got on to the project as a mid level animator. Soon after I was asked to help my lead guide the other animators on our team when things got busy. It was an fun but challenging project. Tight deadlines and high expectations forced the my self and the team to be fast and efficient. It also forced me to streamline my workflow and I think my work has greatly improved because of it. It was amazing, working with a big team and I would love to do it again!

  January 2018 - March 2018

  Aalborg, Denmark

  Got back together with the team at Slipgate Ironworks to work on The extended version of Rad Rodger. Rad Rodgers - Radical Edition. I got to flex my design muscles and create concepts for some very iconic old school game characters such as Duke Nukem, Lo-Wang and Cosmo. It was a very nice change of pace. Concept work wasnt the only area I got to explore more, I also got to rig all the characters and get much more familiar with the UE4 character/animation pipeline. Super fun project!

  Felix the Reaper is a delightfully weird puzzle game that I got to do some cut-scenes for. They style was right up my alley and it gave me the chance to try out some more cartoony animations. Even though the contract was short it was very sweet. The team was super nice to work with and I would definitely do it again.

  April 2017 - July 2017

  Denmark

  My tasks on Rad Rodgers ranged from Story-boarding and Character Design to Rigging and Character animation. The bulk of my time was spent Creating all the main characters in-game animations plus all of the In-game Cut-scenes. When needed I helped out with some off the character and Creature design work and I also rigged a few of the creatures and characters we have in-game. My rigging skills are limited but I am always open to learn more.

  My responsibilities range from Character Animation to Story-boarding and Character Design. I always try to improve on my work and where I can, help improve others around me as well. We are always dealing with tight deadlines, so I am used to working fast. As Lead Animator, I give the team feedback on how to improve their shots, as well as how to approach some of the technical aspects to a certain shot.
  Story-boarding is a job I often take on. Working on a story and how to best tell it visually. I always think about what the shot calls for and what needs to be the focus of the shot. Shot progression is also something I always try to keep in mind.
