Demo Reel Fall2014





I am a 3D generalist that can animate, model, texture, and rig. I am also becoming a 2D generalist, making concept art, digital paint, animation, and storyboarding.

SANDTRAP Trailer

A group of people (listed in video) and myself put this together for a class. I love that overall atmosphere of it; amazing for a golf game right?

I did wish I had more time to re-rig the arm model so I could attach the knife to it, so the animation wouldn't jump. No matter how many time we tried to fix that animation in UDK, it would always mess up.

Sack Climbing Up (Updated)

Noticed some issues, so I've fixed them and should be better now.

What Does This Button Do? (Updated)


I had some spare time so I went in and updated the ending of this animation. I like it better and it helps show weight.

The Holy Acorn!

Just downloaded this rig, and wanted to mess around with it. Ta-dah!

What Does This Button Do?


Blocking Pass

Breakdown Pass

Final Pass


Once I get some free time, I will be changing the ending to this scene and animate hundreds of balls flying out of the pipes. Until then, enjoy this sack animation. It was really fun to make!

Basketball Dribbling Loop

Blocking/Breakdown Pass
Saw some things I didn't like after I made it at this stage; like how he looks like an old man (nothing against old men playing some b-ball).

Final Pass
I fixed his back problem and decided that I would make him right handed, and try to show that he has more power in that hand. I think I was able to show that.

Sack Climbing Up

Second animation using this Sack rig, and I'm starting to really enjoy it.

Sack Jumping A Gap


This is one of the first animations using this rig, so I was still getting a feel for it.
