unannounced title. HitFactor was a deep dive back into the industry as an employee, after focusing on my own studio for some years. I will always look back fondly on my time here with this team. The team helped me grow in ways I hadn’t expected - as a person, artist and AD - as well as forging deep industry friendships. Being part of a culture focused on a true people first approach felt prophetic. And the high bars of mutual trust/respect, passion and collaboration have raised my expectations forever. . .

Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida Area

unannounced title@LuckLevel, projects were more avant-garde and experimental than typical games I had worked on. Its projects were meant to be artistic, invoke thought & emotion, and small enough to focus on the original heart of the experience.

Augusta, Georgia

Senior Artist/ (Untiltled but Tasked) Project Lead in Serious Games and Defense Sector.ARNGBFSBBioForNCSTPM WINTand other LMS ProjectsWorking closely with Art Lead/Director, Project Managers, Programmers, Technical Writers and Executive Staff, I was responsible for break down, scope, task and production of cinematic and in game projects and their related content; this included assignment to status and delivery. Assisted in establishing standards for production, pipelines, process, technical and art.A personal thanks to the group for entrusting me with so much, and to everyone I worked with, from top to bottom.

Infected (Majesco)Conan (THQ)AfterBurner (THQ)Battle of the Bands (THQ)SmartyPants (EA)Drawn to Life (THQ)Unanounced (Msft - Xbox360)As far as my career goes, Planet Moon will always be my favorite place & time...Arriving in 2004, I was the 9th addition to the then growing team. As such, I had the unique opportunity to not only be a big part of the core team and culture, but to see a small studio grow from 9 to almost 70 when I left in 2009. A true "from the ground up" snapshot. The oddest part of it all is that we were so busy I didn't realize how much I had learned until I had left. By the end of my employment, I had been entrusted with directing, leading, and mentoring the character and animation teams on multiple projects. This in addition to being an integral part of the core management team, and still involved in production on a day to day basis.The owners and colleagues at PM taught me much about business, people, trust and respect - how business IS personal. So much so, that they continue to inspire me to this day. It is because of these people that I was able to envision and start my own studio, where I prescribe these same values daily. So to my success I will only say it is but a reflection of their respect, trust and diligence (in me).Thank you all.

Orlando, Florida

Dexter's (Laboratory); Robot Rampage (Cartoon Network)Geist (Nintendo)Directed team of 5+ character modelers/ animators for multiple Gamecube Titles. Was responsible for composition/direction of all character related content (from concept to integration); in game cinematics, rigging, weighting, effects and story, as well as establishing animation process and systems in production for sharing, object oriented, export and additional tech/tools. Also involved in design pipeline as one of a 12+ man round table (I was Gawain, I think).

Dallas, Texas

Worked in an animation (rigging, weighting, in game animatic and cinematic) capacity on 3 titles:Star Trek; Elite Forces 2 (Activision)LOTR-Two Towers (EA) Counterstrike/ Condition Zero (Valve)I had a blast while there; the creative resources at their disposal were to me (at the time) the most impressive thing I had ever seen. The creativity in that concrete building resounded like a dragonian heartbeat. And everywhere you looked made it evident that affluence and success in this industry were not only possible, but plausible. I owe you guys so much-Rob acknowledges me (he now responds to e-mails but not phone calls).LevelLord is the limit and the way- may he rule forever!Steve M. doesn't realize I'm gone.Lisa- how do you do it?!?!~ I miss you so much!!!Steve Nix is one shrewd negotiator- and I like him anyways.

Lake St. Louis, Missouri

Planetside (MMOFPS)Lead Animator on Planetside - my initial foray into trying to evolve my talent and skills. Some of the most poignant and lasting relationships were made here- among them John Ratcliff (master of all trades), Rungy Singhal (who taught me the art of when it positively, absolutely needs to be destroyed overnight), Drew Rische (consumate diplomat to the industry and all-weather friend), and Curtis Cannell (fallen, but never forgotten). In just over a year, I was responsible for rigging, skinning, and implementing over 100 characters, creatures and vehicles and establishing over 8k in game 1st and 3rd person animations (yeah I know, right?!?) before leaving to go work for Ritual Entertainment.

Oakhurst, California

Quest for Glory VSwat 2I can't remember the start or finish months; perhaps it was the excessive overtime (mandatory 16 hour days) and all the political haberdasherie and pointed "goings- on"; this was my abduction, yes "abduction" into the gaming industry. Not all was bad- I'd say it was a 50-50 good to evil ratio. Luckily, I made some great friends, among them Daryle Smith, the ever talented John Lindemouth, and of course Christine and Mike Cicchi. Could not have made it through without them...
