Moving Time

I got married this year, so I am starting fresh and rebranding. If you wish to continue following my work, here's the new site.

Thanks! Toodles!

Walk Week

I designated this past week "Walk Week." Each day I animated a new walk cycle, and I tried to mix it up in terms of male/female, human/creature, emotion. Here are the resulting 5 walk cycles-

Monday:
Male/Human/Confident

Reel Update

A project I worked on last year finally became public! So here is an updated demo reel to include those shots.

It's been a little bit since I posted another shot, so I just wanted to give you a quick update.

1. I have lots of notes for my "Quick Save" shot that I will be applying soon and updating the shot.
2. I have a brand new shot in progress. 2 characters, short dialogue, in the blocking stage.
