New Demo Reel (Cerebus edition)

To prepare myself, I've made a new demo reel containing some of my best animations done for the Cerebus film.

My sixteenth Cerebus scene

A single twin returns for this shot.

Character Insert Shot

Not a full scene this time. With this shot, I was tasked with animating a character that someone else forgot to put in a scene.

My fifteenth Cerebus scene

The wizard returns once again, this time with an updated rig.

My fourteenth Cerebus scene

This time, I have a scene that starts with a walk, stops for a bit, then continues the walk.

My thirteenth Cerebus scene

A short scene this time around, with a tavern keeper being threatened with a sword.

My twelfth Cerebus scene

This is the longest scene I've animated so far. I got to animate characters sitting down for the first time.

My eleventh Cerebus scene

A small scene this time. Just a few villagers in a panicked run.

Commercial Maya License Acquired

I am now a proud owner of a commercial license for Maya.

My tenth Cerebus scene

More of the twins with a little Cerebus.

My ninth Cerebus scene

The twins return in this simple scene.

My eighth Cerebus scene

The wizard returns with some dialogue in this scene.

My seventh Cerebus scene

Another fairly simple scene. Here, a couple of princes are tied up above a snake pit.

My sixth Cerebus Scene

A simple scene I animated after the rampage scene. Here, a wizard is peering into his crystal ball.

My fifth Cerebus film scene

A bit of a "monster" scene here. I got to animate a giant statue, which Cerebus stands atop. The blocks are just there as mock buildings, which a special effects artist will use as reference when the scene gets to that stage.
