Ozzy & Motörhead: Hellraiser

(official animated video)

Produced & Directed by the fantastic team at Hey Beautiful Jerk.
Storyboards, concept design, and illustration by Glenn Urieta.
Animation team led by Matt Carr Jr.
Many talented and amazing artists were involved in the making of this video.

Contributing to over 20 scenes and 200 hours, I retouched, rigged with DUIK, & animated characters using AE from provided illustrated style frames.
This is a compilation of most of my contributions to the music video. Assets not animated by me or composited by me into scenes are noted below and in the video. I fully animated some scenes, and for others, I animated characters + background elements for HBJ to composite into the final. HBJ changed some assets in the final video, scene chronology is changed from the actual video, and some of my contributed animations are not included in this compilation. Finally, FX & elements that were composited by HBJ isn't depicted in this compilation.

● 00:22: Lemmy animation and eyeball gore/brain animated by other artists. I composited these elements into the scene with my zombie animations and blood. I animated additional elements on Lemmy.
● 00:29: Ozzy & Lemmy were pick-ups from a previous animator. Zombie keyframes were picked-up from the prior animator. I animated Phil and sliced/retouched artwork to swap out all character layers for an updated zombified look.
● Redux of these scenes with only my animations at the end of the video.
● Full Music video included under compilation video.

● My name made the contributing artist easter egg in the last frame.

38 At The Garden:

Jeremy Lin HBO Max documentary.

I had the honor to animate about 20 scenes under the lead animator Miguel Hernadez (M75er). EMMY winning The 38 At The Garden chronicles the extraordinary ascendance of point guard Jeremy Lin during his landmark 2012 season and will be shown on HBO Max.

Firestone Walker brewing:

Produced & Directed by the fantastic team at Hey Beautiful Jerk.

Utilizing images provided by HBJ, I sliced/retouched in Photoshop, rigged with DUIK, and animated in After Effects. I included all animated characters in a compilation to show my contributions to the Mind Haze advert. 

The below Pterodactyl was rigged (without DUIK) in 3D space to help accentuate the already foreshortened look of the image. Puppet pins are placed on the feet to give a limp glide feel. The wings were sliced to bend at specific joints to help the flying effect.

Baby Assassin:

film social media post

I created promotional social posts for Well Go USA Entertainment's film Baby Assassin. Originally pitched as a cinemagraph, the first scene utilizes a 3D camera while I added character animations with DUIK, and displacement maps. This is a compilation of scenes created but not all were used in the final.

Yum! brand: great listener.

Working as a freelancer with multiple editors and animators, I helped the Casual Films team to create animations on multiple global corporate onboarding videos for the company Yum! — a parent company to KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, etc. 
Within the already established direction, I animated one of these videos entirely to myself called Great Listener, one of the client's favorites. Casual supplied me with brand icons, character illustrations, and an edited video of the on-screen actor. I also created custom illustrations/icons utilized in many of the videos, all within the Yum! Brand guidelines.
Note: I did not edit the footage of the actor.

Yum! brand: compilation.

A compilation of many of my custom illustrations, text animators, and character animations utilized throughout many of the Yum! Onboarding videos.
I templatized many of my animated motions, text animations, and character animations to be easily picked up by other team members to be incorporated in all subsequent videos for consistency.
Below are some of the on-brand custom illustrations, as well as alphas of them in action.
