Invaders… From Space
This animation was a joint project with Wells Riley that we worked on during the fall of 2009. It was by the far the most involved project either of us had worked on and we learned a lot about creating a 3D animated short from start to finish. I discovered that I... (Continue)

This is my first experience modeling, texturing, rigging, animating, and rendering using Maya.

It was challenge to create this short even with the help of another animator. Technology: Nikon D40, White Board, Dry... (Continue)

I don’t use any really advance features of After Effects, but there is a lot that can be done with the basics. Technology: After Effects, Illustrator Watch... (Continue)
