Outer Reach Cutscenes

2010-08-20T11:39:00.002-07:00

Some keyframe sequences I directed, storyboarded and animated for a company called Massive Bear (massivebear.com). We put these together quickly to help pitch a 3rd person action game we mocked up to show what we could do. I'm pretty happy with the result in the time frame that we had! Some of the animation was done by Jim Kang (grind.ca).

Outer Reach Gameplay Animations

2010-08-20T11:39:00.001-07:00

Some more animation I did with the fine folks at Massive Bear (massivebear.com). These were for all the various gameplay actions our hero had to do in game, everything from getting shot to running backwards. All of this was keyframed in Maya.

Dead Rising 2 Quick Reel

2010-08-20T11:38:00.001-07:00

Here are some of the scenes that I've worked on in the past few years at Blue Castle Games working on Dead Rising 2 for Capcom. Thankfully a lot of stuff I do here with the other guys in the Cinematics department gets released to the press so the public has already seen it! The game is shaping up to be pretty awesome, so you'll all have to check it out later this year when it's released.

Ghostbusters Animation

2010-08-20T11:37:00.000-07:00

Some of the scenes that I animated on Ghostbusters: The Video Game back in 2008 at Rainmaker. Animation was all done in Maya with some motion capture on there as well. All of the facial animation and hands were hand keyed as well as the ghost and car movement. Pretty cool working on a project where the voice actors are Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson.

Ricky Sprocket Skip

2010-08-20T11:00:00.000-07:00

This was a flash animation I did a few years back for the show 'Ricky Sprocket: Showbiz Boy' at Studio B Productions. It ended up being used in the opening credits sequence.

Here we go, the finished projects all cut together for your viewing enjoyment.

Thanks to all my instructors at Capilano College, it was a great 8 months! Thanks to my family and friends, I'll actually have some free time again to see you! And thanks to my girlfriend for all the support!

Ghostbusters Cinematic Trailer!

2008-12-03T10:26:00.000-08:00

Here's the first cinematic trailer from the new Ghostbusters game coming out next year. I worked on a lot of the content in this trailer and am pretty stoked to see it all rendered!

Linked In

2008-07-10T14:00:00.000-07:00

I've got my Linked In page all set up. Come check it out.

Some of my 2D stuff from before 3D

2008-05-01T00:03:00.001-07:00

I'll be posting up more drawings as they come, but here are some examples of my 2D work from back before I learned some 3D. A friend and I are working on a short so there will be some more character and concept work in the next little while.

Capilano College Gradshow

2008-04-24T21:23:00.000-07:00

The Capilano College Gradshow is this weekend: Saturday, April 26th from 1-5pm. It's open to the public so if you like animation (which you probably do, since you're at my portfolio) you should come out.

Here is the invite I made with all of the Digital class' artwork.

March 11 Second Club

2008-03-26T14:02:00.000-07:00

Here's my finished up 11 Second Club animation. Lemme know what you think:

Fight Test

2008-03-06T17:05:00.001-08:00

Testing out the rig further, making sure it doesn't blow to pieces when I run it through it's paces. I'll be posting a lot of stuff in the upcoming weeks, keep coming back!

3D Max Biped Walks

2008-02-26T10:32:00.000-08:00

My first walks that I did in 3D Max.

3D max Run/Jump Assignment

2008-02-26T10:07:00.001-08:00

This is a project I did for our run and jump assignment using the 3D Studio Biped.

Self Caricature in Gorillaz style

2008-02-25T13:53:00.000-08:00

Another assignment we had was to draw ourselves in a different artist's style, I chose Gorillaz.

Low Poly Prop

2008-02-25T13:46:00.000-08:00

This was an assignment we had to do, it was for a prop that had to be textured and have a theme. The first thing I textured in 3D!

3 Week Group Project

2008-02-25T12:47:00.000-08:00

This is our group project that we did in December. There were 6 of us in the group and we finished it from concept to final in 3 weeks. I took the role of director I guess and storyboarded the short. I designed the girl character, modelled her and rigged her up. I also designed one side of the street and modelled a number of the buildings. I did a lot of the opening scenes in the short and animated a few of the mime shots. I'm pretty proud of the group as most of them haven't animated before in their life! Definitely would like to tweak a bunch of the shots and animation, but when you're coming up with a story, storyboard, character design, model, texture, rig, animation, editing, and sound in 3 weeks...it's a tad rushed! Hope you enjoy.

Finally some animation!

2008-02-25T12:03:00.001-08:00

Now for my favourite stuff, the first of many scenes. This was a test to see if the rimlight would work while he moved a bunch, the animation ISN'T complete yet, I only worked on it for an hour or so, but it shows how his rig works!

Some Spaceman poses

2008-02-25T11:59:00.001-08:00

Well, I figured I'd start testing out my rigs and making sure they were working, here are some images of the mostly final textures (i'm going to add a hair system to the guy I think and tweak the dummies textures, these are placeholders for now)

Spaceman Early Stages

2008-02-25T11:49:00.000-08:00

I figured it's about time I post some of my work on here for you guys to see, it won't usually be renders like this, more likely it'll be video of some animation that i'm doing (since i'm focusing on animation for my reel). Feedback is welcome, I take crits well!
