Plug dj

In 2104 and through much of 2015, I worked for Plug Dj. I first started doing animation for Avatars on their site, eventually I was able to also design the Avatars and some chat badges.

Glass Labs

In 2014 I was hired as a contractor for Glass Labs Games and I helped design some the back grounds for their game “Mars Generation One”, an educational game for the ipad. I’m huge Sci Fi fan so this was a really fun project. Some of the designs they repurposed and changed for the final game but a few got in unchanged.

 

Spellcraft 2

Wizard animations for Spellcraft 2, by Appy entertainment. All animations were done using After Effects and Apple Motion. I also built the wizard students character rigs which allowed us to share the same animations across different wizard types.

Lots of good stuff has been done on the project to this point. I had just finished a rough animated run cycle on Winston and Plum. and I’m nearing toward the end. But there may be some changes coming as I think more about the characters and the overall story.

A lot has gone into Project Plum up to this point. At this point I had just completed the segments at the end with Plum and even made the decision to up the comedy and cartoony gags.

3/21/2017
Here is the first video posted to my Youtube Channel. This was before I even had a name for Plum, and my only goal was to animate a sequence based on a recent storyboard job I did.

 

ThermaSol Films

Thermasol is a steam shower company. I did these short films with my wife, to be used as PSA and instructional movies. All artwork and animation was done in Flash.
