personal project development and consulting

I taught classical animation techniques in 2D traditional, 3D modeling and 3D animation, and digital tools in the Adobe Suite, Photoshop, Audition, Premiere.

In the multimedia department I taught introduction to computer graphics using the Adobe Suite, 3D modeling for Maya, and character rigging for Maya.

I taught principles of animation

I taught modeling, materials and lighting, and character design

I created 3D versions of characters from the animated film Aladdin, modeling and animating, for a virtual reality location based attraction that premiered at SIGGRAPH and EPCOT in Orlando Florida in 1994. I was the first animator with Walt Disney Feature Animation chops to explore what could be done with interactive Disney characters in real time 3D, in an era when Eisner and Katzenberg would sign contracts with Baby Bells on the back of our SGI monitors as the highlight of their backstage tour.

Key Assistants are 're-animators' who help to establish the drawing style of the lead animator across the collaborative effort of a team of animators assigned to a particular character, maintaining the lead animator's drawing style in work that may have been completed before a character's proportions and performance were completely explored by the lead animator. Keys also supervise the rest of the clean-up process on their scenes.
