Description: This is my most current demo reel; I'm
always learning and moving forward. I have been working on an unannounced Next Gen game title ay Midway Austin for the last 3 years so much of this doesn't reflect my current skill set, but it's the most recent work that I'm allowed to show. If you like what you

> Door bash
This animation was completed for Area 51 a Xbox and Playstation shooter. The animation was completed in about 4 hours. It was used as a way for AI's to help you through locked doors.
> Leaper retreat
This was a new behavior for this character that I helped concept; after a melee attack he slinks back into the shadows. It was very effective and made for a scary combat result. The animation was completed in about 3 hours.
> Leaper swarm wall jump
This animation was done for Area 51. It was used down long hallways where a large group of leapers were rushing towards the player bouncing off the walls in a frenzy. The animation was completed in about 6 hours.
> Leaper Entrance
This was one of several “gotcha” animations that this character had throughout the Area 51 title. It was completed in about 4 hours, and was very effective in startling the player.
> Dreadnought - Walk test
This was a simple animation exercise to see how well I could get across the weight and scale of this forty ton steel machine. The model and texture were completed in about 5 days. Lighting, rendering, were another 3 days. And the compositing was done in Digital Fusion.
> Pegasus run cycle
This was a freelance animation done for The Animation Farm. It was completed Maya 6.0 using a custom rig in about 6 hours including revisions.

> On the job
This is a walk cycle with a short anticipation. It was all hand drawn and completed in about two weeks.

The assignment was to have a simple character in a rubber raft get hit by a wave; the focus was weight and momentum. It was all hand drawn and took about two and a half weeks.

This is another animation for Area 51. This was an eerie scene where you witness a scientist mutate into a grunt and then lumber towards you before your teammates take him down. This was completed in about 10 hours.
