And then once Star Wars hit the theaters, I knew that animation and visual effects was my destiny.
The first video below is my ShaveFX animation studio reel. Let's be perfectly clear - the animation seen in this reel comes not only from myself, but also from several incredibly talented artists. As the founder of ShaveFX, I produced, directed or animated the majority of the projects that came through our door, and this reel reflects that work. Proud to have had a creative hand, whether collaboratively or fully hands-on, in every piece on this reel
From 3D animation with such software as Maya and Cinema 4D to motion graphics and 2D animation with Adobe After Effects and all of the tools in the Adobe Create Suite, I enjoy bringing the unusual to life.
"Computers don't create computer animation any more than a pencil creates pencil animation. What creates computer animation is the artist."
- John Lasseter
This next reel is supplemental to our main demo, and reflects more work done in the last few years, plus few pieces that are a bit older but tons of fun. You'll see clients ranging from ad agencies to nuclear technology companies, with everything from demons to butterflies.
That's what I do. I make things move. And I create teams to take on the bigger jobs, surrounding myself with talent and making my client smile.
