Original Cinematic 

Original cinematic made for my Portfolio Productions class at Norco College.

My job on this project was to create and animate a compelling game cinematic. My process included doing storyboards, layout, animation, and basic lighting. All based on weekly critiques from my Art Director (Instructor).

Cycle Animations

Cycle animations done for my Portfolio Production class at Norco College.

My job was to create, animate, and integrate cycle animations in engine. I would animate cycles and fix them weekly based on weekly critiques from my instructor. I used Maya for the modeling and rigging and Unreal Engine 4. I had to implement a basic state machine and character controller to control the various animations.
