I grew up on Age of Mythology and Warcraft III. They crafted my love for Real Time Strategy games, helping me expand into Starcraft II and Halo Wars. Games have been the foundation of my love for fantasy and sci-fi. One thing they all had in common beyond their captivating art styles… was a great story.
I don’t want to just make pretty characters and objects, I want to be part of a great story too.
I am a senior at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Currently enrolled in the BFA Animation program with a concentration in Technical Animation. I live in Savannah, GA and have taken courses in Modelling, Character Art, Lighting, Basic Rigging, and Facial Rigging.
My current project is a capstone film titled “Overcast“, in which I work on models, rigs and simulations.
It’s the small things that drive me. The blood splatters on Project Lancer’s shield, the flow of Sylvanas’s cloak. This is why I joined Technical Animation. Using skills gained from 3D modeling I can contribute to the pipeline by focusing on small but important details such as fly aways, asymmetry, armor engravings, and cloth dynamics. As an artist, these elements can help bring a character to life.
Great story and great art help create great impact. But poor lighting ruins everything. Focusing on lighting for animation helps improve the subtle impacts when the audience sees an animation on screen. My recent work on a short film made me appreciate the role of a lighting artist, and how it helps make an animation pop on screen.
It’s these little things that make a project come to life. That’s what I live for. Great stories, great aesthetics, and great details. All of these get highlighted in cinematics, shows and movies. That’s where my path is currently taking me.
