End of the Year Reel

Star Struck Rookie

   This was my final shot from an animation class this semester. The assignment was a lip sync but I really wanted to work on a more complicated body mechanic shot. I had a lot of fun with it and was even able to throw in a fun background. It was my first time trying a more toony look with CG and I would really like to keep animating like this if I have the opportunity in the field. 

Fun character ideations

These are some character designs I drew up last night . The monster to the left was inspired by the idea that chickens are the closest living relative to the T-rex, and the other characters might be the ones who round them up.

Testing Bloody Mary Rig

My friend Alex Turner and I were asked to test the Rig for the Bloody Mary game we are animating on. So we decided to go the Colin's Bear route. I hope you enjoy.

New Shot Idea

This is an idea for a new shot I am working on. I am using dialogue from Scott Pilgrim the movie. The setting is a knight in training star struck, then punished for it. I need to really push the shot but I am not sure how to do it yet. So I am going to see how far I can push the animation with the dialogue.

Grumps Animation

I have been working on this animation for a little over 4 weeks, for my animation class. I very glad I was able to use this audio from the youtube video Sonic '06: WHAT IS THIS? - PART 20 - Game Grumps. I may also continue to work on this shot if I have time in the next few weeks.

Game Animations

I finally asked for permission from my game projects director if I could post some of the game animations I have been working on last month, and got permission to post. These are for another student game project I am working on called  Bloody Mary, the game is loosely based on the legend of Bloody Mary. These are some of the first person shooter animations that will be in the game.
