I am a 3D Animator located in Los Angeles, CA working in movies and films.
I do hand key animation in Maya, Matchmove, clean up MOCAP, as well as blending MOCAP and hand key animation. I also work with 2D movie plates and 3D animation rigs in Maya with the intention of making them look harmonious. I also have worked on test shots for Clients with their Creatures/Characters in order to give them a variety in animation possibilities to choose from.
I really love working on movies as well as watching them. It's so much fun to work with different characters and objects to see how they move and interact with things.
