3D Character Animation Reel 2015

Here are some fruits of my labors from the last 3 years at Guru Studio in Toronto.

Dinopaws!

 

Guru has been keeping me busy with its cute brand new show, Dinopaws, under the guidance of our Annie Nominated Director, the awesome Mr. Harold Harris. Thank you Guru for shows that make animation fun!

"Dinopaws is all about the prehistoric adventures of three curious young Dinopaws who woke up one morning and decided they wanted to go everywhere and do everything in their brave new world.
Just as young children are daily discovering new things that they’ve never seen, heard, tasted or felt before, so Gwen, Bob and Tony – the three Dinopaws – are constantly having new experiences, learning how to be together and making sense of the world."

Paw Patrol is on a Roll!

After a year of hard work at GURU, PAW PATROL, which debuted on August 12th, 2013, has been a huge success!!

PAW Patrol is a CG, action-adventure preschool series starring a pack of six heroic puppies: Chase, Marshall, Rocky, Zuma, Rubble, and Skye, who are led by a tech-savvy 10-year-old boy named Zack Ryder Jr. With a unique blend of problem-solving skills, cool vehicles and lots of cute doggy humor, the PAW Patrol works together on high-stakes rescue missions to protect the Adventure Bay community.

The show is broadcast on Nickelodeon and TVOKids. The show is produced by Spin Master Entertainment in association with TVOKids and Nickelodeon. On November 14, 2013, Nickelodeon announced that PAW Patrol has been renewed for a second season.<sup>[1

The New Frontier

Well after months of pavement pounding, I have an opportunity to join the great team at Guru Animation on their production of Season Two of Justin Time!

Am I excited!? You bet!!

Now the real works begins...it takes effort to find a job and a whole order of magnitude more work to keep the job. Wish me luck!! :)

3D Animation Demo Reel v1.41

I couldn't help myself ! Upon further review, I felt the need to tweak a few things in my new lip syncs. Animations are never truly done, simply abandoned when the deadlines come. Cheers.
