Status Update

Its been a busy past couple of months. I've been learning a ton from all the talented people at Sony. I've been able to work on quite a few different projects since I've been there. Here's a bit of what I've had my hands in:


Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier


I animated some cinematic sequences for these two guys and their friends in their new adventure.


Infamous


I was able to help do some pre-vis animation for the tv commercial.


Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time


Animated some cool cinematic bits in this game. Looks like it'll be a lot of fun when it comes out.


Uncharted 2: Among Thieves


I'm currently working on cinematics for Uncharted 2. Its a great project to be a part of and I'm really looking forward to this game. Its going to blow people away.

Its been a busy few months and its not going to slow down any time soon. More frequent updates should be on the way. I've got a few more things I'd like to share. More to come soon.

Now or Never

I'm at a pretty big moment in my life so I figure its now or never to update this blog and stay with it. So whats the news?

Well since being let go in October, I decided to make a reel to try and break into the visual effects industry. After 4 months of long nights, I finished my reel in early February and started applying to every major studio. Around that time Sony gets in contact with me. So, I agree to do their animation test. After a few days, I hear back from them, and they chose me over a few other candidates and offer me a position.

So the big news is I'll be moving to San Diego in about a week to be a cinematic animator at Sony Computer Entertinment.

In the future, I'll be updating this blog pretty regularly with plenty of tips, tricks, links, and all around animation goodness.
