Rindin The Puffer

This is the short I worked on while interning at FatCat Animation Studios 6 years ago. I worked in the Ink & Paint Department and it was a great learning experience.

Nice clip from The Disappearance of Alice Creed. Great movie, definitely recommend checking it out. A lot of nice, subtle, nervous ticks going on from Danny (character wearing the track suit)

Animation Pinterest

I created an Animation Pinterest page, where I "pin" awesome demo reels, cool shorts, sweet shots, anything that inspires me. Figured I would share it with other people :) I find having a one stop page like this is great for when you need to recharge those animation batteries*




* If you are actually running on batteries, then you are a robot, sorry to break the news to you.

Anim: Blow A Hole!

Animation I created using the sweet Cenk rig that came with How To Cheat In Maya 2013

WARNING SPOILERS!!!!


I wanted to start with that, if you haven't seen Moon, do not watch this clip!! If you have seen it congratulations..you are awesome! This is a great clip with Sam Rockwell (amazing in this movie). It just has a lot of emotion and character in it & I love the little weight shifts/movements at the beginning..enjoy

Here's a clip from one of my favorite movies The Thin Red Line. His reaction to the letter is very believable and this is great reference for pantomime animation. You could very easily mute the audio and still understand what he is feeling.
