Animation Director
Leading animation teams in the games industry since 2004.
Directly animating has always been a part of my regular responsibilities, but my larger contributions as an animation lead are not always easily captured in video clips.
The short videos included here demonstrate the artistic and technical skills that support my ability to lead animation teams to success, creating high-quality animations that synergize well with excellent gameplay.
The slides surrounding the videos provide context with regard to direction decisions, gameplay considerations, and technical implementation details.
