Freelance Modeler
M.O.R.A.V. (Fon Davis) - On this project I helped Fon Davis (formerly of ILM) realize a digital version of a MORAV (Multi Operational Robotic Armored Vehicle). The model was then printed via rapid prototyping, painted and made animatable for stop motion.
The 50 Year Guitar War (Guy Hornbuckle) - The 50 Year Guitar War is a documentary that explains the debate that music enthusiasts have between the Stratocaster and the Les Paul Gibson: Which is the better guitar? On this project I modeled, textured, lit and rendered a few sequences featuring a photo real 1965 Fender Stratocaster. |
