About

After graduation I had the pleasure of working with an amazing team of people at Tangent Animation as a Show (or Shot) Finaling Artist. We worked with a proprietary Blender pipeline on the Netflix series, Maya and the Three.

As part of the Show Finaling team, I was tasked with optimizing scenes, fine-tuning/updating animation, adjusting set dressing, and troubleshooting technical issues. This required good communication between multiple departments, and a lot of learning on the fly. Near the end of my time at Tangent, we switched over to a USD pipeline and included Maya and Houdini to our software packages. During this transition I had a lot of fun exploring the different tools, and collaborating with my coworkers through the change; often leading demonstrations and discussions about how best to use the new tools.

After Tangent Animation closed it’s doors I started teaching part-time at Red River College Polytechnic as the Motion and Animation Instructor as part of the brand-new Game Development program. While it’s been a blast teaching and learning with my students, I’m currently on the lookout for new opportunities in the 3D world.
