My entry for the AnimChallenge May competition. The theme was Star Wars - light or dark side, I chose the dark side!

Some of my favourite shots I animated for Altered FX in 2022.

Character animation work for Call of Duty Mobile at Altered FX, from May to December 2021. This wraps up my first year in the industry, more cool stuff to come in 2022! https://alteredfx.com/ Song: Joakim Karud - Good Old Days (Vlog No Copyright Music) Music provided by Vlog No Copyright Music.

Getting some lip sync/acting practice in as they're areas I'm still quite new at. Audio from warrior (great film) Lit and rendered using Blender Eevee

One of the two shots I animated for Call of Duty: Mobile. My first professional work since graduating so very excited to share it! This one took around 2 days to complete. Check the link below for the full video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubHo_2arZwQ&ab

Short animation I did while waiting for gyms to reopen, used this project to test out a splined workflow and get some body mechanics practice in as well. Got to try out blending from FK to IK arms and more practice with animating with constraints. Had a lot of fun doing this one and definitely picked up a few things for next time. Around 35 hours of work in total.

My entry for 11 Second Club's October 2020 competition which came 4th. It was a challenge to do more subtle acting animation but I learnt a lot during the process.

Final project as part of the MA3D course in Bournemouth University, initially started out as a solo project but enlisted the help of a friend to assist with the environment modelling & texturing. I learnt so much outside of my specialisation and it was a very fun project to work on!
