Trailers
Below are trailers and videos of my past and current projects. I also have other animation videos on my blog.
Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)
Although it was released after The Avengers, Jack the Giant Slayer was the first feature film that I ever worked on. I spent six months on it and prevised a great number of shots. Click here to see which shots in this video were ones I worked on.
Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem (2012)
Minion Mayhem was a unique challenge. It is technically all one shot, and the previs had to be tailor-made to fit to the enormous theater screen it would eventually be screened on. I worked on the very beginning, and handled the ending from the "hand catch" to the end of the ride.
The Avengers (2012)
For this project I worked offsite at the Marvel studio in Manhattan Beach, CA. It was an incredible experience, and I was very proud of how my shots came out--particularly the one with The Hulk catching Iron Man and scraping against a nearby building on his way to the ground. Click here to see which shots in this video were ones I worked on.
Red Dead Redemption (2010)
Red Dead Redemption is Rockstar San Diego's latest project. I worked on player and ambient character animations, as well as in-game (non-cutscene) facial animation using Maya and MotionBuilder.
Midnight Club: Los Angeles/South Central (2008/2009)
I was the Lead Cutscene Animator for Midnight Club: Los Angeles and also oversaw most animation changes made for the South Central downloadable content (DLC). MC:LA was a 2008 Video Game Award nominee for "Best Racing Game." Here are the trailers for the original trailer and the follow-up South Central DLC game:
Rockstar Games Presents: Table Tennis (2006)
Rockstar Games Presents: Table Tennis was my first project at Rockstar Games - San Diego. The game ended up being nominated for a 2006 Video Game Award for "Best Sports Game." Here is the trailer:
Wrestlemania 21 (2005)
This was my second project with Studio Gigante. In addition to animating, I spent a lot of time using our proprietary software to edit scripts to include elements such as cameras, facial animation, sound effects, and particles.
Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus (2003)
My first video game. I helped keyframe and edit mocap on all the characters (using Maya) and did 100% of the game's lip synch (using Lightwave).
