I have experience across film, advertising and AAA game development and skilled in analysing movement, character actions, motion-capture performances and complex interactions between characters, objects and environments.
I have a strong background in animation quality control, production supervision, technical problem-solving and reviewing visual work against creative and technical requirements. If you are looking for someone who is experienced in identifying subtle differences in movement, timing, posing, action sequences and end states, and communicating observations clearly to artists and production teams? Then you've found the right person.
At Sharkmob, I collaborated closely with the Concept Art team to develop rigging solutions and movement articulation exosuits to be implemented in Unreal Engine 5, and other assets featured in the gameplay trailer. Working in DCCs, I delivered technical animation support and developed Python-based pipeline tools to improve workflows and support the 3D modelling and animation teams
As 3D Production Supervisor at Katanimate, I helped oversee production, support the team and keep the animated short moving through its production pipeline.
Supervised the proof-of-concept trailer for Katanimate’s preschool 3D animated series, planned for broadcast on SABC.
At Triggerfish, my work included character rigging, animation and 3D effects for feature animation.
As Lead 3D Artist/Rigger, I rigged characters to work with motion-capture data, used MotionBuilder for mocap-based animation, and supported keyframe animation and asset delivery quality checks.
Created logos, short animated logos, & Motion Graphics using Adobe Suite: Photoshop, After Effects and Illustrator.
