Now that’s a lovely birthday gift. They’re very coo! Happy Birthday Adam, hope it was a good one.

I’m excited to share my new tool: SCENE BUILDER. A quick way of setting up Maya scenes fast. Choose from six customisable backdrops, a light rig and camera rig.

Two variations:
PLUS - everything in the video, and more!
LITE - a simpler free version

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!

So fun! Some great cycles in there.

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.

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.

Just what I was looking for!

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

Thank you.

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.

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

Here's a small sample of my work, a recent cartoony shot, taking all I learnt from my last feature. I had a lot of fun with this shot!
