This is my full Animation Demo Reel. It has both my traditional and computer animation with some excerpts from my short film Death Dance. Below are breakdowns of the shots. Clicking on the picture at the left allows you to view the particular animation by itself.

Project: "Death Dance"
These are some shots from my short film in progress Death Dance.
Programs: Maya 7.0, Maya Cloth, and Syflex
Work done on following Shots:
  •  Direction, Animation, Modeling (Skeleton, Death, Hamster), and some Rigging and Texturing.

Shot 1 • The skeleton is lifted then comes to life, and starts to dance (this was animated to the sound track that can be heared on my full animation demo reel).
Shot 2 • The skeleton sees something of interest on the ground, its fur.
Shot 3 • The skeleton picks up its fur. [Cloth created using Maya Cloth.]
Shot 4 • Death, displeased, enters and makes a halting gesture (to skeleton, off-screen). [Cloth created using Syflex.]
Shot 5 • Caramello, a lost hamster, wakes up to see Death and becomes frightened.

Project: Walk Cycle - "Attitude"
Program: Maya 6.0
Work done on Shot:
  •  Animation, Lighting with use of GI_Joe Script.

This project was to take a normal walk cycle and change it slightly to make it have an attitude or definable character associated with it. I was animating it to be a Quazimotto-like walk cycle.

Project: Walk Cycle
Program: Maya 6.0
Work done on Shot:
  •  Animation, Lighting, Texture, Cloth Simulation (Syflex).

This project required that I create a generic walk cycle that didn't have any particular attitude associated with it. It was to be used later for a cloth simulation of pants using Syflex.

Project: Emotion Change 2
Traditional Animation
Work done on Shot:
  •  Animation.

This emotion change was based on storyboards handed out to class. The character was supposed to:
Wait, hear a noise and react to it, look over, and then get grossed-out by something off screen.

These final two animation projects are not on my full animation demo reel any longer, but they are fun and silly so please feel free to check them out.
