About Me

I've been working freelance at various animation and vfx studios in NYC for the last few years and have recently gone bi-coastal working temporarily in LA.  I also teach animation at the School of Visual Arts.

Happiness Factory: The Movie

I was among over a dozen extremely talented character animators on Psyop's and Coke's Happiness Factory extravaganza, and after many months of hard work by all involved it's finally hit the web. See it here

You can also see the movie and full credit list via Motionogropher or catch this one in Stash 37

The following screen grabs are of the shots I animated on:

Here responsibilities included animation of the hero worker

 

Again animated the Hero worker as well as the mechanical arm

 

Animated all foreground and midground characters and mechanical parts. Placed background characters via a library of animation cycles

 

Animated all but three of the furballs plus the hero worker

 

Animated hero worker and furball

 

Again animated the hero worker and hero furball, as well as the capper, bottle, and mechanical parts. Also figured out how to transfer the kissy furballs animation from Psyop's original coke spot to this new one

 

Animated the hero worker, furball, roller coaster, and bottle
