A soldier running and jumping over orange boxes.

Wasn't really sure how to end it, so that's why he stands upright looking very pleased with himself.

A soldier running and jumping over orange boxes... work in progress.

Highlights demo.

My entry into May's 11 Second Club competition.

An overly dramatic jump.

Thin air chasing a strange guy with a mask and forcing him to leap from a tall building. Luckily he has strong bones.

A demonstration of facial expressions and postures, as well as a total disregard of real-world physics for comedic effect. Character rig from 3dluvr.com.

An older version of this animation can be viewed here.

Character rig - Max (from 3dluvr.com).

The most up to date version can be viewed here.

A character animation of a guy climbing onto a step and becoming the saviour of his glasses. Presented in cartoonvision for no reason at all.

Dragon animation cycle.

A character animation demonstrating interaction between two robots. The large robot rig is not mine, everything else is my own work.

An animation of a model and rig from The Matrix. The model isn't mine - purely used to animate.

Robot run cycle - to be animated further. Model and rig from ilasolomon.com.

A video containing animated characters. Some are key framed, some motion captured and others simulated.

An animation of my dragon model in flight. The animation could've done with some more work, especially on the neck, tail and front legs, but it'll do for now.

Composited in After Effects as a bunch of layers to edit in the environment, clouds, dragon model and other effects in separately, to control the motion blur and depth of field independently.

A robotic transforming ball initially to be used for the home page of my website but possibly for more in future.

A compilation of some of the videos on the site.

A quick character animation in which the challenge was to demonstrate the word 'careless' in 10 seconds. The character is actually stationary, with the environment moving to easily create the motion blur on the background while retaining camera movement in the opposite direction.

Character animation to demonstrate a sense of weight, anticipation and reaction.

Here's one of the monkey animations I've been working on.

It's intended to go on the home page as an introduction, and hopefully demonstrates some character emotion and interaction, as well as some cinematic effects.

I really should give this animation a name so I can stop calling it work in progress...

Anyway, here's a draft render of the animation so far to check the lighting, textures and glass breakage effects.

The main thing left is the building explosion so the whole thing actually makes sense. And he needs a gun as well to shoot at the glass so the glass doesn't spontaneously explode as it does at the moment.

An update on what I'm working on (see previous related post here)

Still very much work in progress - textures, animation and obviously special effects still need working on, but you can see roughly how the animation should end up.

The idea is he's running from a bomb that he planted in order to kill something evil, although I've not yet decided what this evil thing is, or even if we'll see it. But in my head at the moment, it's something like a tank (not my upload) from Left 4 Dead... but I'm not sure if I'll go as far as doing a section prior to this, and may decide to just go onto learning Maya, which I've been putting off for a while.

A quick video to show the monkey character model, and that it is low poly and scalable with some turbosmoothing.

It also aims to show a grasp of face morph targets, and some quick ragdoll applied to the end of it to hopefully demonstrate the skinning and rigging of the mesh.

Here's what I'm working on at the moment, and it involves bringing this monkey back that I started to work on ages ago.

I'm experimenting with morph targets now to try and get some expression, and it's still very much work in progress...

Just because I wish this game would be made.

Part of a university assignment that took place in character animation, sound design and games design modules.
