Narrative Animator - @SonySantaMonica. Prev: Counter_Punch ,HalonEnt, SonySantaMonica , 343i, Vicarious Visions. Opinions are my own.
Last night, I finally told @corybarlog and Eric Williams how #GodOfWar2018 was so good, it made me think I'll never work on something like it ever and how it really pissed me off @ my lack of skill. So I took #animation workshops. 4 years later, I shipped #GodofWarRagnarok .




DragonAge Animation Credit! Another Shipped game under my belt. I only had a small role helping wrap up the game, but glad to see my name in the credit page. :D

My #animation and #gamedevelopment journey so far and love every moment of it. All of my shipped titles as an Animator in order from top left to bottom right. It's been a dream come true to just be an artist and I hope I helped create some great memories for the fans.

Right before pandemic my PC died and lost everything in it; was somehow able to salvage this personal animation I did in @iAnimate. Lost maya file but I can share the last version I made. Wanted to redo the whole tail and ending. Oh well. #animation @iAnimate
My first #PortfolioDay post: 2016 - I used an off-camera line in Destiny1 to learn how to animate the "Ghost" when @Bungie cinematic team was onboarding us for #destiny2game. I was given permission to keep it and use this. #3danimations #animation #gamedevs
One way I advise students on pushing poses in 3D is to "break cardinal planes" Front = Coronal Side = Saggital Top = Transverse In the example below, the eyes/head hips are parallel to the transverse plane, creating a "square" or "blocky" look 1/3 #animtip
2"x2" magnet canvas with acrylic. First time with such a small canvas. Still new to painting in general but I'm having so much fun. #giblistudio #howlsmovingcastle #art instagram.com/reel/DGpWRW_sv…
Recently realized my resume been outdated - ran into a 1st world problem trying to update it - I'm can't fit all my job experiences on one page anymore. Will need to think of a new layout or something.
I think it's time to share what I've been cooking for the last 6 months - a major update of the Smart Layer script. New modules, new features, full support of quadrupeds, wall walking, automated leans, feet sliding fix, pelvis correction, space switching, curve filters and more🧵
My first family night paintings. I really appreciate the time I can spend with family when I can. Definitely still learning how to paint but it's been so fun.


#gamedev is such a small Industry. That saying keeps getting true-er with each passing year and every friend I make in this industry. So glad to make cool stuff with cool people.
While @Counter_Punch for a short stint, I got a chance to jump on #DragonAgeVeilguard as a Sr. Narrative animator and it's finally releasing tomorrow!!! Helped out with a couple of cinematics. Super excited to see people react to my 1 - 2 scenes on youtube the next few weeks.
🖥️ God of War Ragnarök is now available to play on PC! Thank you for all your support!
I'm excited to watch all the new PC playthrough reactor on YouTube.
Ready yourselves! 🪓 On Sept 19th #GodOfWarRagnarok arrives on PC! Check out the map for our 🗺️ Global Release Timings 🗺️️
Just wrapped 3.5 month stint @Counter_Punch as a Sr. Cinematic #Animator. Time for much needed rest. Not sure what's the next chapter yet but excited for the unknown for some reason.
#gamedev #Animation. Lately been taking some time to reconnect with past coworkers I had fun working with. It's so nice to hear everyone doing well, healthy, and still as awesome when I worked with them. Take a moment to reconnect with your past coworker friends. :D
I can't believe this trailer was 5 years ago, my fav shot from #HaloInfinite. Wanna know a secret? I animated this scene 100% handkeyed... no mocap. Only used for the trailer. They scrapped all this #Animation but at least I got to handkey armor jiggle that aren't in game.
Had a great opportunity to animate this scene and I hope it brought joy to the fans as much as I enjoyed animating it. #HaloInfinite #E32019
LET FREAKING GOO!!!!! I'm an IG main. Just tell me where to air breakdance and I'll be there! :D
Crossplay CONFIRMED! As announced at Summer Game Fest, crossplay is coming to Monster Hunter Wilds! No matter where you are, hunters are stronger together. #MHWilds
