I have an ongoing personal project that I’m slowly creating the necessary assets for and, eventually it will be an 3D-animated film/series involving my creatures. Luckily all the work going into ramping up my software pipeline and skills means I can also deliver a wide range of animated content for a range of clients. I use Blender as my primary rendering/animation software with Character Creator/iClone for additional character animation and motion capture.
This was a project for Pioneer Works that I took on for fun because I was given creative control and liked the subject so much. The task was to take an audio interview with famed astro physicist, Jocelyn Bell Burnell, and create visuals for it. Because the video needed to be about 30 minutes long, I designed all the segments to play out very slowly to serve more as a meditative atmosphere for the audio, which was provided by Pioneer Works.
A fun concept for a client!

A pretty little animation for some sort of pharma thing.
Concept for a store interaction.

A simple run animation test for a character in my animated film testing basic hair physics.
These clips were previz for shot blocking and camera movement in preparation for a press-conference/product showcase. It was a crazy quick turnaround of less than a week, with a lot of trial and error on the camera movement, but using iClone, I was able to get at least a little placeholder animation for the presenter implemented so the director could have a more dynamic rough to work with.
These are all clips of my personal work, and it’s lightly NSFW, but really just a little naughty and nothing too bad. The pandemic gave me time to get a lot of my creatures fleshed out and rigged for animation. I kind of miss lockdown…
A composition of several promo animations created for Howes, a truck lube company. I find it fun to buy and use the products I work on, but as an indoor city kid, I fear truck lube will never be something I will have the pleasure of adding to my shelf.
Promotional video made for Howes, a company that makes engine lube for big trucks. The concept was for a fictional museum displaying the history and products of the company. This one is pretty old so the rendering quality is a little dated. It was done in the arch viz software, Lumion.
Another older animation created in Lumion. This was for AVNet's 100 year anniversary. AVNet makes… machine parts or something like that? I don’t actually know. 🤷🏻
Simple animation showing a potential motion-sensor based window display for Wolf appliances.
