For this project I played a lot of roles. I was primarily the producer, managing timelines, assigning tasks, writing progress reports for our professors and overall making sure everybody knew what to do and when. Additionally, I was the lead and only rigger making rigs for characters and props using plug-ins like Advanced Skeleton or sometimes I had to make some of them from scratch, I also experimented with 2D facial expressions on the fairy 3D rig. Last but not least, I was responsible of animating one of the mid to final scenes. I did work in other areas but these were my main 3 roles. Everything was completed in a time span of 6 months and it was a wonderful experience working with my team and director.

For this one I had to make something made out of at least 3 different objects. I went with the plasma canon designs I've seen and made it out of stuff i felt you could fine around in an abandoned city. To spice it up I made the cartridges be different slime looking fuel. 3d modeling blender rendering

For this project my friend needed a 3D animation of a train entering a tunnel. I was given the train design, background with the tunnel and the animatic of that section. I took everything to Blender, modeled it, used the same illustrations for texturing and animated it, then I took the sequence to DaVinci Resolve and masked and composited everything together.
