Paddington

Lead Animator

Shot was initially blocked out by my wife Katherine Cibinel, after her initial hard work I had the easy taks of finishing up the shot and claiming all the work for myself. Again I was sequence lead.

The Angry Birds Movie

Even more flying animation to add to my reel. This time super weighty cartoony flying, and had a lot of fun animating these 3 shots in a row.

Tools: Maya
1:12-1:20

Smurfs: The Lost Village

Senior Animator

More super fun, appealing and cartoony animation. Animated all characters on screen over the 4 shots.

Tools: Maya
1:21-1:21

The Lego Ninjago Movie

Lead Animator

Back for more fun LEGO animation. Animated all characters on screen, and how many times can say you animated somone driving a bike down a school corridor?
Also was leading on this sequence.

Tools: XSI
1:23-1:30

The Lego Ninjago Movie

Lead Animator

One of the 1st shots animated by Animal logic Vancouver. The shot is much longer and was split between many animators. I animated everything on screen except for the black mech right at the end, which was animated by the incredibly talented Chris Potter. I cut the shot short as I didn't want his work to overshadow my own.

Tools: XSI
1:31-1:36

The Lego Ninjago Movie

Lead Animator

I actually made myself feel quite queasy just listening to the sound track over and over. Eventually I was able to finish it without throwing up, animated all chars in this super nauseating shot.
Was lead on this super satisfying and challenging sequence.

Tools: XSI
1:36-1:38

Fun Garmadon Shot.

First run of shots on angry birds. Animated the foreground birds only.

Storks

Senior Animator

I don't know what it is with me and animating birds. Here's a run of 3 fun and physical shots from Storks.

Tools: Maya
2:02-2:08

Storks

Senior Animator

Not necessarily hugging, but almost. I like to work on dynamic physical and heavily technical scenes, it calms me. Super fun, super challenging shots from Storks. Animated all characters.

Tools: Maya
2:09-2:18

Storks

Senior Animator

More flying, but super stylised and some ugly crying to boot. Fun to work on and a great way to finish off a fun yet challenging show.

Tools: XSI
2:19-2:28

The Angry Birds Movie

Senior Animator

Fun stealthy, clumsy and absurd angry birds animation.
