Below are a few different reels which show off visual effects work that I've created.
The following Real-time VFX Demo, is the most recently updated reel, and includes an annotated video of work produced in 2017-2019 on Darwin Project as well as work from 2015-2016 on Gears of War 4. Work on these titles consisted of using a combination of Houdini, Photoshop/Quixel Suite, Unreal Engine 4, Perforce, and Jira.
The following Cinematic VFX Reel, was updated in 2019 and includes work from EA's Battlefront II and Battlefield V. It is annotated to illustrate what I completed on each sequence. Work on this title consisted mostly of effects made in the Frostbite Engine and additional work performed in Houdini 16.0 and Photoshop
Having started my career at Side Effects Software as a Product Specialist, I have a well-rounded knowledge of Houdini 3D Animation Software including modelling, particles, fluids, rigid bodies, surfacing, compositing, CHOPs, VOPs, HScript, and REYES/Mantra rendering.
I have worked primarily as a Houdini Digital Visual Effects Artist/Technical Director on stereo feature films but have also used Maya professionally and it was the first package that I learned 3D animation in while acquiring a degree in Animation from Sheridan College. The below work is a sample of what I did when working in the film industry.
Breakdown:Circumstances led me to finding myself in the United Kingdom for a couple of months back in 2015, and so I made an effort to get out now and then and see some of the landscapes that the nation has to offer. Most of where I visited was throughout Scotland, however there's a little bit of Cornwall to be found in this video as well.
I used a Canon 7D with either a EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM or a Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD for the various shots in this montage.
Now that I've got a toddler, I get very few opportunities to get out with my camera. But time lapse is something I enjoy doing quite a bit. Here's a few others that I've done, with locations including: Mount Diablo, The Quiraing, Fairy Pools, Mount Cheam, and Tana Lot
