Industry Review Presentation

 This is my presentation I created in Adobe After Effects to show off my two best animations in the fall semester at FIEA. Included are my jump and lift animations. 




Lift Animation

 This is a quick video where I experimented with a lot of new techniques and animation tools. I got to animate facial controls which allowed me to give true character to my actor. I also got to learn about constraints in Maya and how they can help lock FK rigs in place for translation.

I had a blast making this animation and love how it came out. I got to emphasize the wright transfer of the crate and also add a stylized accent to the end of the animation.



Jump Animation

 This is a Jump animation that allowed me to focus on the core mechanics of a humanoid jumping. I decided to have fun with it and have two basketball players jump, however one gets to dunk over the other.

I learned a lot through this process and enjoyed my time creating this piece.

VR Project Final Proxy Stage

 This was our last week to set up our proxies for our VR project in Unreal. I helped figure out the spline for the path of our boat that we want the player to follow and animation proxies using a rig my teammate created.
