Winter 2009: 3d character animation reel
My most recent work—various 3d character animation shots and tests. Rigs provided by Animation Mentor.
Ottawa International Animation Festival
Signal film for the Ottawa International Animation Festival. 9 people's journey to the festival each with their own style- planes, car and jetpacks. All simultaneously. Intended for multiple viewings. I directed and animated the sequence on the right side, 2nd one down. The girl in the car. Project directed by Will Krause.
Tastemaker Juliya
This segment I shot while working at MMUSA- now called fuse. Juliya was their first star and here she's getting some ink.
Headbangers
This is a spot my former roommate Mike Overbeck directed and I assisted on- doing tiny bits of animation but mostly cleanup and inbetweening. Animated with many a wacom styli in flash.
King James
This is a very short blip I assisted my friend Chris Siemasko on. We took wacom tablets and flash and cranked out some (digitally) hand drawn animation.
four/4
This was my senior thesis project from RISD. Essentially me experimenting with the camera and trying to edit the results into something interesting.

Having recently completed the Animation Mentor program, his current focus is 3d character animation. Freelancing in the NYC area over the years (and a year in Brasil) he's taken any project that pays the rent (or should theoretically). In this capacity he's worked as a cameraman, field producer, animator, video editor and occasionally even directed a blip or two. Drop him a line
