I am excited to share the shots I animated for Dreamworks' Dog Man, while at Jellyfish Pictures. I was only on Animation for a short time after moving over from Tech Anim. It was a fantastic project to be a part of and my first feature credit too! #dogman 🐶 #animator #3danimation

I wanted to challenge myself with a heavy box mechanic shot, focusing on a feeling of weight. I also tried to add a little story. Amy rig (gabrielsalas.gumroad.com/l/WHuVm) Kitchen set (ko-fi.com/s/5261de0454) Cardboard boxes (www.cgtrader.com/products/car...) #CharacterAnimation #AnimationJourney

Hello #animators! Do you want a simple way to add depth to your character's mouth in the polish phase of your shot? - Maybe this will help?? I created a small Python tool for Maya. Mouth Shader Tool - Download link 👉🏼 lnkd.in/e5YKJpz6 #3DAnimation #AnimationHack #AnimationPolish #Python

Have just finished one, have 2 walk and 2 run cycles. Agree with Dylan, go with what feels right.

I’ve always loved the fantastic Big Hero 6 character tests - the subtlety, personality, and storytelling packed into just a few moments of animation. Feeling inspired, I decided to challenge myself with a character test of my own. Carl rig from Character Rigs #CharacterAnimation #AnimationJourney

Personal update time - during this up and down work period, I wanted to add another layer to my animation skills. I recently completed two Python developer courses on SoloLearn. Been great exploring ways to complement my creativity and help me become a more well-rounded animator. #animation #python
