Educational Experience
Attended Vancouver Film School, 3D93 Animation & Visual Effects, 2011-2012
-The 18-month course included classes in core traditional animation techniques such as life drawing, cel animation, and layout for storyboarding, as well as how to apply these principles to 3D animation in Maya
-The pipeline from concept design through to modeling, texturing, rigging, and finally animation, culminated in a short thesis film that demonstrated all of these skills together
-Several 5-10+ second shots were made through the processes of thumbnails, to blocking in 3D animation, to rough splining, and finally refining to completion through polishing techniques
-Completed student thesis film in June 2012
Attended Animation Mentor, 2008-2009
