Cinematic Designer & CInematic Technical Artist

I'm a Cinematic Designer with a focus in technical art, scripting, storyboarding and development. I’ve worked with studios like Ascendant Studios, Telltale Games, 2K Sports & Pocket Gems

My most recent work was with Ascendant Studios doing CInematic Technical Art for Immortals of Aveum. With a focus on:

• Initial setup of cinematics in sequencer, implementing animations, cameras, including creating level instances, triggers, and actors.

• Planning and implementing transitions between gameplay and cinematics

• Author cameras and actor performances for interactive dialog

• Collaborate with level design to manage actors inside cinematics that transition to/from gameplay

• Be the go-to person for Animation, Audio, VFX, and Lighting to assist them in creating great scenes in game.

• Communicating closely with Level Design and Art to ensure that cinematic staging needs are accommodated.

• Working with the Art Director and Lead Animator to faithfully execute the Director’s vision for each cinematic.

• Identifying and fixing bugs in cinematics, proposing workflows and methodologies to speed up and bulletproof the production process.

I also work in preproduction cinematics, illustrations, short form writing, and animatics. I've worked on creative projects ranging from lead storyboard artist for a children's storybook app, to writing/storyboarding/directing a Borderlands 2 student animation, to editing videos for small projects and trailers.

I believe the best resource is a willingness to produce good content and the drive to see it though. I love creative challenges and working with projects that require thinking laterally to develop unique solutions.

Here is the full version of Loose Cannon Claptrap. An animated short that I wrote, storyboarded, pitched to the writing team at Gearbox Software, and directed. The animation was graciously done by the students at the Academy of Art University
