Demo Reel (August 2022)
The opening sequences (the lanky man in the space suit) are animated utilizing motion capture data, stylized for a more cartoony feel. The parkour sequence is sourced from three separate mocap stunts, spliced and altered to create one cohesive animation.
The remaining reel content is hand keyed animation from my game team's project, Pogglewash. I was responsible for the character's concept, design, model, and all of his gameplay animation.
Above is my sophomore year project, "Iron Mermaiden," with a small team of 7. I contributed to the animation of the siren (mermaid) characters as well as directing and editing the short film. The story depicts two sibling sirens playfully competing to lure Viking sailors, each sister with her own style of song.
The short film went on to receive:
