Latest Project
Here is the project i’ve been working on right up until it was time to go to FJORG!!! Me and two other students wanted to do an intro for the Art Center Design College Student Demo Reel going to SIGGRAPH. I was responsible for the character design and animation, Mike Munoz was in charge of modeling and rigging (truly awesome rig) and Brad Wright did modeling and some texturing. Im really proud of the outcome! As a side note, i completed all the animation for this shot in a little over one week!
FJORG!!!!!!!!!
My team (Fantastic Fjorgers) took 2nd place at this years FJORG competition!!!! The prizes included Gnomon Workshop DVD’s, Digital Tutor gift certificates, Toonboom studio, new graphics cards and the best…an insiders tour at Disney and Dreamworks and lunch with the animation leads, production assistants and the heads of character animation at Dreamworks!!!!! Purty sweet!
Thanks to Disney and Dreamworks for sponsering the event and to Patricia Beckman-Wells, Becky Wible Searles and all the other people who made it possible!

FJORG!!!
I just received an email a few days ago notifying me that i was accepted into the FJORG competition at SIGGRAPH this August! Im so excited to be able to participate. Ive already seen my fellow group members’ work and their stuff is great! Its gonna be a fun competition!
Animation Test
This was just a small test i did to try a slightly different approach to my animation. Its not nearly finished but it has served its purpose and its as finished as it ever will be.
Learned a lot from this little test. Those are the best kind!
“Scratch” is now available on pocketmovies.net, a great place to download movies right to your PDA or iPhone! It seems to be getting a fair amount of attention there too!
