2015 Demo Reel

Just put together a new reel since PDI imploded. I was long overdue anyway, and now you can see some of my more recent professional work. I now notice that half of it is cartoons, and half of it is more realistic scientific illustration. Kind of sums me up perfectly. Enjoy!





And for a bonus image, here's the lovely crew gift we got for Mr. Peabody and Sherman, which was my first feature film and a very rewarding experience:

 I'm still incredibly glad I got to be a part of a film for children that promotes intellectualism, problem solving, and STEM fields. You don't see that very often these days.

Penguins of Madagascar First Look

Howdy folks! After finally posting things from my SideFX Internship that I did back in 2011, it got me thinking about how I don't really talk much on here about what I've been up to in my current job.

Well, now that some cool stuff has showed up online, it's time to post some cool things. Today we have some footage from 'Penguins of Madagascar.' It comes out this Thanksgiving. You should all totally go see it. Here's the first teaser that was released a while back:




And if that doesn't convince you, this scene was released yesterday at Comic-Con, and shows the tone of the film pretty well:




This scene is particularly exciting for me because it directly shows off a bunch of my work! I was primarily rigging faces on this movie, and set up the face of the baby seal, did some work on the wolf, and rigged all of the octopus faces, including the big baddie 'Dave' (John Malkovich). Dave's face rig is definitely one of the coolest things I've ever done, and I can't wait for everyone to see him this fall. That's all I'll say for now :)

And speaking of DreamWorks related things, I'll try to post some things I did for 'Mr. Peabody and Sherman' sometime in the near future. Stay tuned!
