• First acting test with Eli from Half Life Alyx. All animation was Hand Keyed
• This is reference I did for the GMAN at the end of Half Life Alyx. Although we used motion capture for the animation, I did another performance to help me refine the work as well as get a closer look at my facial expressions.
• This was some test animation I did to explore the Hook Hand character rig from Tangled. Although the posing for him I did in this shot was a bit 'elegant' ... I had fun exploring the idea that he might be a bit dainty compared to the others.
Although it was a test, I spent time on crafting the poses and having fun with some ideas that "could" go in the film if the directors liked it.
• I will add more to this section as I continue to compile workflow demonstrations for upcoming and current projects. The items below were for personal exploration as well as research & development. The reference items that are included were used over the years to enhance my understanding of various types of motion and performances.
