Animator at Full Sail University

Progression Final project for Visual Arts: developed and captured reference for two characters, created 200+ keyframes to convey expressive performance and narrative clarity, and animated 9 seconds in Autodesk Maya applying timing, weight, and anticipation. Implemented three layers of motion editing (base motion, secondary animation, polish) to refine realism. Optimized animation curves in Maya's Graph Editor for smooth 24 FPS playback. Delivered a polished end-to-end workflow from concept blocking to final render.

Isolated and prepared dialogue tracks for synchronized animation timing; ingested pre-existing 3D assets and finalized audio into the scene environment for initial layout. Modified an existing character to reflect visual reference from source reel; built initial pose-to-pose blocking in Maya, defining primary beats and core emotional expressions; added transitions to smooth action flow; refined body language and chronology, including initial mouth shapes for dialogue sync; elevated mouth animation realism to align phonemes with recorded dialogue; polished full performance with dynamic adjustments to body physics and expressions to convey subtext; designed a multi-point lighting scheme and produced final high-resolution renders following technical and artistic standards.
