ANIMATION MENTOR SHOWCASE 2013

Ohh man, so much amazing work coming out of the Animation Mentor camp! Hopefully I get the chance to attend this school one day. So good!

A bit of an update...

Wow, its almost a year since I last posted!! Well I can say for sure that I've been hard at work trying to improve as an animator. I had the chance to take the Spungella online workshop with Jean-Denis Haas, Senior animator at ILM! It was a truly eye opening experience and I recommend it to anyone pursuing a career in animation.

Anyways, here's my newest entry for the 11 second club. This is actually my first time using predominately FK arms on a rig. I've always been more of a fan of IK, but I decided to switch things up on this one. It was a fun challenge and I will certainly use FK in the future where I can. Thanks to everyone who gave me crits on the 11 second club forums, they were really helpful! Still would like to do some more polish, just on some of the super small details. Check it!

11 Second Club May

hello, ello, ello! I entered the 11 sec club this month. The audio was pretty sweet, and since I was at good stopping point on some personal animation, I figured it was a good a time as ever to enter for the first time. I'm happy with the result, but there's still a bit to be done before I add it to my demo reel. Anyways, I had a lot of fun with this one, check it!

UPDATED REEL

Just added a new shot at the end, and moved a couple things around. My workflow seems to be getting faster, which, is great but i need to push my abilities to get more believable performance. I'm gonna submit my reel to animatedbuzz.com where I can get a critique from one of the professional animators on the site.

Phew!

I'm so glad they halted production on the Akira movie. It would have been a disaster!

New Reel!

Rise of the Guardians trailer

Dreamworks is seriously stepping it up with every film. This one looks like fun!
