Its been some time since I updated my website and demo reel, but here we go. Alot has changed in the last year. I left Sony Online Entertainment in 2011 as the Studio Art Director, and took on a new role as Creative Director and GM of a motion capture studio in Dallas Tx, Motus Digital. As the creative director, I am the driving force for our creative team, pushing the boundaries of animation and motion capture. With a state of the art Mocap Systems, and veteran team, we are defiantly defining what the future will be for motion capture. Not only are we working with the top game studios, but we are now pioneering the step forward in the next evolution of animation…“live animation”. Exciting times are coming in the animation industry, and we are at the cusp of it all.

As the Studio Art Director for Sony Online Entertainment, I was responsible for insuring the artistic vision and development of Star Wars Galaxies and DC Universe Online, managing timelines, budgets, and maintaining the quality bar while respecting all brand holders interest including Lucas Arts, Warner Brothers, and DC Comics in developing a next generation product.

The game has got to be one of the best expereinces of my career. The team and upper managment were the best in the indusrty, and I am very proud of the final product.

UPDATE:
The Game Developers Choice Online Awards is an award ceremony honoring the accomplishments in video game development. This year DCUO won Best Visual Arts award at GDC Online.
