Magic Swirls

Here is some sparkle and shine I did using particles and lights in Maya. I had a lot of fun with this! I call it Magic.

Worst Day Ever - CG Animated Short

Here is the final version of our class project. 10 weeks. 14 people. Pre-modeled and rigged characters.

I was the Lead Animator and the Lead in Visual Effects (cloth and liquid simulation). I also wrote the script for the short and helped on the Storyboard Team.

In scene 1, at the bar, I did the fluid effects for the "rum" that splashes over the counter.

In scene 6, the crazy taxi driver, I animated both characters and the taxi.

In scene 10, the final bar scene, I animated both characters and any IK/FK animation on the bottle.


So, Better Off Dead Productions brings you a low-res version of our short - "Worst Day Ever".

FanimeCon 2010 Animated CG Bumpers

This is a set of five animations that I did for FanimeCon 2010 that I volunteered for. These took me about a week and a half to produce (outside of school and work). I was asked to create shorts that would lead as bumpers to introduce categories of FMV submissions from fans. They were premiered on two big screens in the San Jose Civic Auditorium.

I wrote the scripts (available upon request) and animated the two characters and remote.

The video has much better Title Screens that look like popular television shows that come on with static effects and everything which were created by Jose Marin, but they're left out on this blog - available upon request though!

Lip Sync Gangster

I did this piece to continue my focus and practice on Facial Animation and Lip Sync. This is a three (3) hour piece.
