A wall run representing my capability to animate advanced body mechanic's in Maya. It was the first time I've animated anything like it and it was a huge learning process. I reviewed various video's, gaining knowledge on the process of animating similar motions in Maya. The animation underwent many revision's from Emily and a lot of helpful insight was given, though some things were harder to improve then others.
A run cycle demo. A classic but very important show of skill. When I made it, I didn't initially think it would loop very well. But after some tweaks and adjustments were made, I believe it's looks fairly good.
A fairly long free-running sequence with a complex rig and model. With clothing, hair and face controls, this took far longer then expected to complete and the level of polish I desired was difficult to achieve due to the nature of the rig. But after months of work, I believe I reached a desired level of polish and solid animation that I can use to represent my skills to a potential employer. It's not perfect, but it's one of the first real animations I've created and I'm happy with the end production.
This was my last and quickest animation I made for the demo reel. I always knew I wanted to create a fight scene and it was the first animation I've created with 2 rigs in the scene. This was produced within 2 weeks and lacks some polish due to the rushed nature of the production. But I am pleased with the final result.
It's only 40 seconds of footage. But it is months of production and learning to animate in Maya. The footage is represented in a format that shows the first to last animation I worked on over the trimester. The final animation does lack the level of polish found on the free-running sequence, but it was produced in a fraction of the time. 2 weeks compared to 2 months for perspective. I still have a long way to go for the level of skill in animation I want to achieve before I believe I'm in a hireable position. But with time and constant skill improvement, practice and test productions, I believe I will get there soon.
