About Me

I'm an animator and an educator. I've worked at various vfx and animation studios on both the east and west coasts of the United States. I teach animation at the School of Visual Arts and I try to contribute to the community with the thoughts and techniques I've gatherd over the years.

Bioshock 2: Cinematic End Sequences 4x

Although I did not get to animate on this one I was fortunate to be able to lead a really talented team of artist on this 6 minute monster which we completed in about 6 weeks! We had a really fun mo-cap session over at Perspective on my old stomping ground Long Island. We had the game models hooked up in realtime as we shot the scenes. We even got to watch the action from the POV of the performers in realtime. After getting back the data our artists worked furiously to beautify it and ship it out.

**Spoiler Alert** You can find the endings in full on YouTube. Don't be surprised if it gets taken down soon.
