Update & New Demo Reel

It has been some time since I have posted here, and as I look back through my old blog posts, I am amazed at how far I have come. The things that once were so profoundly incredible and complicated to me, I realize were simply stepping stones that have pushed me to a place of much greater technical and artistic abilities.

Though I wish to display only my best work online, I think I'll keep this page up here as a testament to the journey and to show how far you can go with hard work and persistence.

While in school, I have been studying every part of the Animation Pipeline, there are two areas in particular which have captured my imagination and my heart: Modeling and Animation.

Modeling because you have the innate power to create something from nothing, to give it physical accuracy, and to infuse it with extreme detail. Digital sculpting is one of the most incredible, technical, challenging, and freeing things I have ever dedicated myself to, and I absolutely love it.

Animation because of the incredible ability to give life to something formerly inanimate; to express emotion through a character.

As I move forward throughout these next several months, I will be modeling in much of my free time while primarily focusing on animation.

But before I do that, I would like to share with you what I worked on this last Holiday season. I began in September and worked on these models up until January to create my first Demo Reel. It was a lot of work, but it was so incredibly rewarding. I hope you enjoy it.

Remember to pursue everything you with passion, integrity, and authenticity.
