Hired on a short term contract to work with motion capture data on LA Noire.

A large number of professional actors have contributed their voice talents and their physical appearance for this game.

I worked as the sole VFX artist for the critically acclaimed pc game The Ship and as a character animator and VFX artist for the recently released sequel A Bloody Good Time. I tailored my work to fit the cartoony style in both games whish required some very quirky VFX and some amusing animations in addition to the more regular work. I also did further VFX work and character animation for anticipated future projects.
