Production/ Project work
[ Synq Studios ]
I was in charge of the creation of the character setup for a realistic human character Rig, I also created the skeleton Rig and Muscle Rig for that same character. By working on muscle/ skeleton skinning, I was able to help the studio advance with the project at a much faster rate.
[ Ruthless & Toothless ]
I worked on cartoony rigs for an animated short "The Toothians". These rigs have stretchy limbs and spines, as well as dynamic options for their capes and or certain appendages. This helped the animation team not have to worry about many secondary motions for the animated characters.
[ Contract Work]
I worked for a private contractor as a Lead Technical Director. My duties included creating Maya skeletons systems, After-Effects compositing and project maintenance as well as liquid and dynamic simulations.
I worked on the Rigs for a school animated short called Sigmund. I created cartoony Cat rigs and some vehicle rigs. I was also a Render Wrangler for the project, where I would set the multiple machines to render out passes based on the shots.
I worked as a Maya rigger for the Florida Lotto in creating a marlin fish rig for one of their TV commercials for the Florida Lotto.
