About
This is a demo reel which includes some of my favorite and most difficult shots that I worked on. I was responsible for animation fixes, shot cleanup, and quality control. Many of the animation fixes included multiple PSDs on characters which were needed for a clean CFX simulation and to fix any interpenetration.
