During the summer of 2005 I worked at Sony Pictures Imageworks on the Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis production "Monster House." As a Motion Integrator I incorporated motion-captured animation into shots using Maya and MotionBuilder. Here are some of my shots - click for video.

In early 2005 I worked at Rhythm & Hues Studios on the Disney production of "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe." My duties as a Technical Animator were to prepare motion-captured animation for use in the climactic battle sequence. This work was done in Nuance and exported to Massive for crowd simulation. Here are some examples.

From 2001 through 2004 I worked for Activision, where I directed cinematics for "True Crime: Streets of LA." I prepared storyboards and animatics, directed voice-over and motion capture sessions, and supervised final animation of 72 minutes of real-time cutscenes. True Crime features the voices of Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman, Michael Madsen, Ron Perlman, CCH Pounder, Michelle Rodriguez, Russell Wong and James Hong. Here is my interview and some cinematics - click for video.

While at Activision, I also did some work on the Shrek 2 video game title. I created the following demo loop from gameplay footage and audio assets. It plays when the game is left unattended for a period of time.
