With such a large asset team here at Method, I am given a small team to tackle individual assets or environment challenges so we can focus with precision. This includes design, planning, organization and execution to completion. I collaborate with other departments, can manage large data sets and complex ideas, and utilize layout techniques to design and compose in shot for the best results. That all sounds very technical and wordy, really I love to create and Method Studios gives me great… Show more With such a large asset team here at Method, I am given a small team to tackle individual assets or environment challenges so we can focus with precision.

The odyssey that is Oats Studios was a unique experience all on its own. Neill Blomkamp and Chris Harvey rounded up a band of rebels to go on a two year adventure creating brand new content from scratch. We were a small team, self managed and self sufficient with only the guidance and direction from Neill and our supervisor Chris. We were a single unit made up of all disciplines and worked together to create the short films. I was responsible for nearly all the assets besides organic characters… Show more The odyssey that is Oats Studios was a unique experience all on its own.

We were a small team, self managed and self sufficient with only the guidance and direction from Neill and our supervisor Chris. We were a single unit made up of all disciplines and worked together to create the short films. I was responsible for nearly all the assets besides organic characters and clothing. I worked closely with our in house concept artist to hone and refine designs and was given a lot of creative license which was amazing and rewarding. We would then collaborate with Unity to create two sequels to the Adam short film that took everyone by surprise. We created so much more than what we were able to finish, one day I hope we get finish what we started. Show less

At Image Engine I made contributions on every show, focusing mainly on the modeling and occasionally the designing of hero assets. This includes everything from vehicles and characters, to digital doubles and environments. I led our talented hard-working team of modelers and work closely with texturing, surfacing and rigging to meet clients' needs and achieve the high quality results that Image Engine is known for.Credits as a Lead Modeler:T.M.N.T.ChappieChild44

In September 2011 I joined the Image Engine team and was immediately launched into two massive shows: Elysium and RIPD. Working with several teams of artists and production crews, I was engaged in multiple disciplines and work flows, constantly shifting gears between the two unique styles of these films. Working with our lead artists on the droids, space craft and space station was a particular treat for me.

We moved on to many more shows each with their own creative and technical challenges and rewards that gave me the opportunity to work with a wide and diverse group of artists and production staff.

I was Lead Modeler and Texture Artist on several shows at Prime Focus, which was a highly rewarding experience. In 2010 I worked simultaneously on Tron Legacy and Sucker Punch; two very unique and stylized shows with lots of room for creative freedom and interpretation. I was given a wide berth with creative control and worked effectively with two of the best teams of artists and production crews.List of credits:ImmortalsFinal Destination 5Tron LegacySucker… Show more I was Lead Modeler and Texture Artist on several shows at Prime Focus, which was a highly rewarding experience.

We were a small elite team before joining the Prime Focus fold, and I for the first time started wearing a couple of hats at once, designing, modeling, texturing, and attending production meetings. G.I. Joe was a dream show for this guy who used to watch that cartoon every day after school. It was a very memorable and rewarding experience.List of Credits:Tree Of LifeG.I.Joe Rise of CobraThe Tooth FairyDragonball ZAncient Mega Structures

This was my first job in Visual Effects. I was very fortunate to join the team on this animated feature, and as a junior artist I was learning and working as much as I could. I had some excellent mentors and lots of opportunity to grow.
