3D Animation
I mainly focus on 2D traditional animation, but in the past I’ve worked on some 3D personal projects.
Here is a YouTube intro that I created a couple of years ago, useing pre-rigged models to produce a choreographed fight scene that I directed. I synced the timing of the fight with a soundtrack that I thought matched the intensity of the scene.
I used Mine-imator to create this, but I also have some basic experience with Blender and Maya.
