My current animation reel

WIP I’ve been chipping away wait when time allows. It’s the first time I’ve done a truly deep dive into stepped blocking (straight ahead), it’s been challenging but rewarding. I’m also incredibly fortunate enough to be getting some guidance from a Disney animator!

A little piece I did for some fun and practice

My first piece of lipsync animation in a long long time. So many rookie mistakes were made while shaking off the rust, but I think growth is happening. Next I’d like to experiment more with animating in stepped, I’m more of a spline guy but it has some serious drawbacks. Also here’s to finishing things!

An oldie from the archive

Sometimes I like to find little performance snippets and animated them the second one is Kristen Wiig from an SNL skit, the first one I’m not to sure to be honest
