==Halo 4 Animation Show Reel==
Here is the Animation Show Reel I put together for Halo 4. There are a lot of assassinations on there – I’d say these are my favorite. Assassinations present an interesting problem for multiplayer gameplay which make them an interesting type of animation to work on. The content needs to read really well from several angles in a very short amount of time, as they can’t be any longer than 2.5 seconds! That gives me about 75 frames to work with. All the stuff on my reel is hand-keyed animation (no mo-cap).

==First Person Weapon Animations==
Seen here are some clips of animation for the Scattershot and the Boltshot – I worked alongside designers to develop the concept of how the new Forerunner weapons form, how the pieces feel when they magnetize together, the timing, the overall feel and of course the most important thing: Are they fun to use? Yes. They are.
