It's been forever..

I don't even remember the last time I was logged in to post. I'll give a quick update on both work and life so that I can play catch up to the 1 person who reads this blog. The wife and I had our daughter almost three months ago! Baby Sofia :) We've been busy on the home front so I've had little time to update or even think about updating this blog. On the work front, I'll begin teaching for Animation Mentor in June!! I'm super pumped and can't wait to be a part of it. We've wrapped up on Rio and I've been animating on IA4 for a while now. I will be updating the Rio reel soon and will post it on here within the week or so. Other then that, busy with the family and busy at work. Nothing new :)

Demo Reel 2009

It's only been a billion years so hears an updated demo reel.
I was responsible for all of the hero animations. Most of the time, I completed the whole shot. Some shots had the background characters animated by another person. Including the first shot. I'll post a breakdown of the exact shots.


Demo Reel

IA3 Reel

As promised my IA3 work. I didn't edit it at all. It's literally every shot in a random order. I'll reorder it and add my Horton and Open Season work on it as well. I was just trying to get it together and uploaded because I know I'll never have time to do it again :)


My IA3 stuff

Ice Age on DVD

Go get it! It's another well made film from Blue Sky Studios. Hats off to all the departments for really putting this one together. So I'm going to finally post some of the works that I've done on both Open Season 2 and Ice age 3. Horton will come at some point. I'm always hesistant in putting up my work because they were created at different points in my career and also with different deadlines. OS2 had more then double the required quota that we had to do on Horton and Ice Age 3. Thus, the quality obviously has to suffer a bit. I'll update my site within the next few days with the new reels. On a site note, Rio is looking amazing. I think it's really going to surprise a lot of people and is the best Blue Sky film yet! Check back soon for the reels!

Well look who it is.

Yeah it's been ages. No one reads this blog anyway so I don't feel that guilty :) Things have een extremely busy on my end. We are heavy into preproduction on our next film Rio and I haven't had time to post anything here. Ice Age 3 has made over 760million and counting!! That's about all the news that I have. I'll be posting more regularily.... I swear!
