Riot Games & The US of A

Slightly amazing news - We will be moving to Santa Monica in 3 months! I got myself a job in Riot Games working on League of Legends a MOBA.  It has over 100 characters and a massive range of animation styles, the quality is out of this world and I can't wait to get stuck in!

New Shots!

What a busy few months! I was working over in Cambridge for Sony and after I finished working for them in March I had a few weeks off so just messed about and created these shots: (Still WIP)

Fighting Stuff

I am still trying to get a snappy style into the moves, I didn't really get there but you can see some progression from the ninja stuff I did before.

Creature Stuff

Taking a break from the fighting stuff I wanted to do a bunch of tests for learning creature animation:

Ninja Stuff

So last year I wanted to explore cinematography and all that involves aswell as try to do some action stuff, I roughed out a big shot then polished a section.  The aim was to have a snappy style but after years of realistic animation I struggled to push it. Something that I learnt todo later.
I polished one scene from my blocking:
