Super Bowl Spots

Hello Everyone!

While I cannot talk about the specifics of this project, I can say that I did a little rigging on it.  Hope you all enjoyed it.

Hey guys, time for another overdue update. We recently worked on a short film titled ‘Iris’. I only played a small part in the feature (rigging the robot), but everyone worked their butts off to get this done.

Hope you enjoy!

Hello Everyone!

So it’s been awhile since I have updated the ol’ blog.  Quite a few things have happened since the last post.  Most importantly, I have joined the industry with the job title of Rigging Apprentice at Reel FX.  It has been an exciting transition going from student to employee.  Hopefully I will be able to start update again at a more regular basis, but I am unsure which direction I should take with my posts.  Stay tuned for more!
