    paper Desert Eagle - First Person Animation Set

    Just wrapped up a new FPS animation study focusing on weight and mechanical impact, while keeping everything snappy and responsive. Couldn’t resist adding a little flourish at the end.

    Always looking to refine the technical side of weapon mechanics.

    paper 11 Second Club April Competition: Monty Hall Problem

    I only caught the 11 Second Club April competition with 3 days left on the clock. I hit the ground running—shot my own reference and dove straight into the animation. Because of the tight turnaround, I couldn’t give the lip-sync and environment that final polish pass I was aiming for, but I managed to push the final submission just 4 hours before the deadline. You can watch the full process breakdown in the video below!

    paper 2025 Animation Demo Reel
