Rango Trailer

Acting Reference #37

Here's a nice clip of Ed Harris in Gone Baby Gone (great movie!) I love the eye darts he makes throughout to help emphasis the point he's trying to make. He's able to convey so much with not that much movement at all. Sometimes less is more :)

Spanish Buzz

Toy Story 3

Go see it! So good!

Acting Reference #36

Here's a cool clip from No Country For Old Men I really love the little head gesture Tommy Lee Jones makes to look through his glasses, just has a lot of character.

Force Unleashed 2

Super sweet trailer for Star Wars The Force Unleashed II

Disney's Tangled Trailer

Acting Reference #35

Here's another great clip from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. There's a lot of great gestures going on here & I especially love the reactions from Mac. He keeps them very subtle, which is good, because your focus is suppose to be on Charlie. Letting the audience know where they are suppose to be looking & not distracting them from that is very important.

The Mummy Online

Today the game I've been working on was officially announced. It's a massively multiplayer action RPG based on The Mummy movies. So far it's been a lot of fun doing animation for this :) Here's the link to the official website.

Acting Reference #34

Here's a great clip of Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump. I love how he is able to convey so much with just his eyes...so much emotion. This is a great example of giving meaning & purpose to eye movements & blinks.

Acting Reference #33 - Tribute to LOST

Yesterday was the series finale of Lost, so I decided to post some clips in honor of my favorite show ending. If you haven't experienced Lost, I definitely recommend it, has some of the best acting on television. There are so many great moments from this show, so I decided to show 2 clips this time haha & I'm sure they'll be more to come in the future. Enjoy!

P.S. Don't worry...there's no spoilers in these clips

Trailer for Blue Sky's Rio

Toy Story Mania Update

So this is what I've been working on for the past couple of months. Working with Disney & Pixar on an update to the Toy Story Mania ride in DisneyWorld & DisneyLand for the release of Toy Story 3. I did animation on the original ride as well, which came out in 2008, so it was a lot of fun getting to work on this again. Click the image to check out an article about the ride.

Acting Reference #32

I'm a really big Phillip Seymour Hoffman fan & here's a great clip of him in Capote. This is great reference for hand poses (the one holding the cigarette) and creating a loose, natural feel in hand movement.

Azureus Rising

This is awesome!
