Personal

I animated all characters as well as lit, modelled and designed the background. This was done while completing my Character Animator certificate at Animschool. Special thanks to JP Sans at dreamworks!

Personal

Another shot I animated while at Animschool. The challenge here was to hold back yet make sure her body language built up in a humorous way.

The Cask of Amontillado

Character animator

I animated both characters here. Very fun and interesting dynamic between both characters, requiring restraint to maximize the build up and power of the smaller character.

I animated these characters as a means of research for a commercial piece we did for Ogilvy and Mather, Comfort. Animated on 2's to give it a stop motion look.

Disney Infinity

Character animator

I animated all characters. This character had a basket of cookies on the log and the thieves snatched it while she was telling you as the main character about it. I find it extremely interesting to animate a character acting surprised, subtlety in timing was everything.

Taking Flight

Character animator

I animated all characters. A big challenge with this shot was getting that camera animation just right while the shot lighting artist brought the background in. I can also say the Dad character is based on myself! I sat next to the artist who designed him while at Moonbot...
