Responsibilities and Accomplishments

• Create motion shot lists and assist Cinema Director in motion capture sessions
• Apply motion capture data to character models and finalize cinema and in-game animations
• Write Python MotionBuilder scripts to streamline animation pipeline
• Composite and render cinematics and prepare for game engine
• Create pre-visualization movies to help communicate game mechanics
• Provide feedback including examples to programmers regarding needs and improvements to the tools
• Create strategy and settings for compressing all in game animations using Havok animation compression

Here is an example of a cinema I set up in MotionBuilder. Working with the cinema director, I was responsible for most of the layout, all cameras, and all final character animations.

Here is another example of a cinema scene I contributed to. I was responsible for all character animations except the face animations. The layout and cameras were set up by another animator.

This is an example of a previs animatic I created to communicate a game mechanic.

I animated this short foreshadowing intro in MotionBuilder. I exported the camera animation using a custom Python script I wrote. The script plotted each camera's correct time range to a specific node that would be exported to Unreal.
