Show Reel - Résumé - Latest Work



Created at Psyop, this is the second spot in the new Michelin Energy Saver tires campaign. I had the pleasure of animating on a number of shots, including the 2-shot where the critter screams and the end shot where the trio is dancing arm-in-arm, and several other background character shots. Hope you like it!



Airing October 7, 2009, this 30-sec spot for the Michelin tire campaign was created at Psyop. As a character animator, my contributions included background character animation, and other extraneous elements---I'll include a breakdown at some point. You can also watch it on Motionographer. Enjoy!


Here is my May 2009 montage reel. The featured projects include my student film, "The Specials," and another award-winning SVA thesis titled, "Abyssus." My responsibilities per shot are indicated, including animation, rigging, and modeling.

Recent Projects


While attending the School of Visual Arts, I created this student thesis film and achieved the School of Visual Art's Outstanding Achievement in Computer Art award. Synopsis: A lustful, extravagant waiter meets his match in an uptight, white-collar hottie who refuses to be wooed.



During my senior year at SVA, I was Lead Animator on this award-winning thesis (SVA Best in Show 2009). Because of tight scheduling, not all of the shots made it to final render, but it was still fun to work on. The film, titled "Abyssus," also won a Sony Imageworks Scholarship for its directors, Christian Hanizewski and Rogelio Olguin.



In May 2009, I animated on one of the films in the Twenty120--- an independent film series which invites 20 filmmakers to create two minute films on a given theme. The film, titled "Fatty Wants a New Toy," was directed by Jon Saunders and Tony Barbieri (of Psyop), and animated by Jordan BlitCarmine Laietta, and myself. (I animated the intro, the end, and the play cycles.)

Summer 2008, I interned as a character animator at Curious Pictures. I animated background characters on the TV movie, Little Spirit, starring Danny DeVito. On the reel, you'll see some cycle tests. Also, I worked on the Snuzzles music video; while a few of the shots I animated exclusively, I did have a hand in all of the shots.

I'm a character animator and rigger. This is a rigging demo of one of my student film characters.



This is last years character animation demo. Employers beware. New and improved to come in 2009!
