From Mar 2013 To Apr 2013
Worked as a lighting and rendering TD and Supervisor on an animation series, "The LeBrons". I worked on lighting the environments and setup rendering for them. I also helped junior artists solve technical problems, and created a number of pipeline tools using both MEL and Python. The tools I created had a range of functions from complex scene rebuilding and setup, Light Rig duplication, to camera tools for the artists. Some of my work included solving more complex Nuke Compositing problems, such as setting up 3D Projection environments for artists, and solving matte and depth issues for artists.

Created many quadruped rigs for animal animations. Developed several pipeline tools using Python. Created textures for many animals. Used Shave and a Haircut to create animal Fur. Setup lighting for various scenes. Created particle systems for swarms and fluid effects. Did a number of animal character animations, and managed the animation pipeline. Setup and managed final renders.
From Aug 2014 To Oct 2014
Worked primarily in crowd simulations using Golaem and Maya. Created and rigged Roman characters for crowd sims. Did lighting, texturing and rigging on Roman Colosseum. Handled most of the camera tracking using SynthEyes. Populated the Colosseum with crowds and setup shots for final rendering.

Match-moved plates, Created and Animated various shots and elements for integration into the plates.
From Oct 2013 To Jan 2014
Modeled, Textured, rigged and animated several various Stage Graphics for the 2014 People's Choice Awards
From Dec 2013 To Dec 2013
Created graphic elements for commercial bumpers
From Nov 2013 To Dec 2013
Created a series of dynamic effects, including CG fireworks, Fluid Effects, Streamers, Butterfly swarms and Confetti. Also built several animation rigs and did some lighting and texturing.
From Sep 2012 To Nov 2013
History Channel graphics, Katy Perry Stage Graphics, People's Choice Award Graphics, Electric Daisy Carnival graphics. Work is usually between one day and three weeks at a time on various projects. Some projects I only work as an animator, others I cover the gamut of needs for the effects desired.
From May 2013 To May 2013
Created and animated stage graphics for display at a live event. Used some mathematical formulas in a MEL script to animate many of the parts.
From Feb 2013 To Feb 2013
Created graphic elements for promotional content.
From Oct 2012 To Jan 2013
Created a series of Environment Shots. This was a Start-to-Finish project. I created all the models, textures, lighting, animations and other effects. Elements were distributed using particle systems. Some elements used hair systems, and other elements were completely 2D. Much of the environment was created in Maya, the rest was created in Nuke using a number of 3D compositing techniques.
From Jan 2013 To Jan 2013
Created boat wakes and assisted with missile trails. Work was done using Nuke and Maya Particles and Fluids.
From Jun 2012 To Oct 2012
I was hired for this independent film project to create and integrate an alien of unique proportions into some hand held footage. This required me to do character modeling, which I used Maya and ZBrush for. I also had to do the UV Mapping and Texturing of the character, as well as the rigging and animating, and also the lighting and rendering. Furthermore I had to match-move the footage, which was very dark, with little detail, and very jerky. They did provide tracking markers, but only in key areas, which were not always in the shot. In the compositing stage, I was required to paint out the tracking dots before compositing the character into the final footage. There were 2 shots total on this project. I used Nuke for the compositing, Photoshop for some of the texturing, Zbrush for some of the finish modeling and texturing, SynthEyes was used for the tracking (with some assistance from Nuke) and Maya for everything else.
From Sep 2012 To Sep 2012
Worked primarily as a Nuke Compositor. The job was mostly adding digital make-up to live action actors. This included adding cuts, bruises and blood. It required a lot of hand-held camera tracking, and paint out.
From Jul 2012 To Aug 2012
This is a video game cinematic project. I worked as the VFX Supervisor, and kind of a 3DS Max Generalist on this. Primarily on the Cinematic portions of the game. My duties include Character Modeling, PFlow Particle Effects and Simulations, FumeFX simulations, cloth simulations, prop modeling, texturing, animation and rigging. There is also some work being done in Eyeon Fusion 6.
