In 2018 I completed a BFA in Computer Animation from the Fashion Institute of Technology.
On this page I've included my two thesis projects from FIT and one project I worked on after graduating.
Scroll down to see videos and descriptions of the projects.
Music video for the Philadelphia-based band yeenar.
I created the 3D animation segment (0:27-2:17) and did motion tracking, compositing, and other work in After Effects for the opening shot and other scenes. I also spent some time behind the camera and helped out with editing.
I made this short FPS game to fulfill the interactive portion of my thesis project(s) at FIT.
The goal of the game is to get to the end of the level in the shortest time possible. In order to progress, the player must shoot obstacles out of the way with their sawn-off shotgun.
Something I wanted to focus on in this project was making a first person reload animation. I've always been a fan of them in FPS games.
This .gif is a loop of the in-game reload animation with better textures and smoothed-poly models.

The final comprehensive project I created at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
Backgrounds were photographed in West Philly on Baltimore Ave.
Models, textures, rigging, animation, and rendering of the characters was accomplished in Maya.
I recorded myself and another actor with motion capture software to animate the characters. (With lots of editing of the keyframes after importing the animation data into Maya).
Sound design and score by Andy Slepman.
