SCAD is collaborating with Hasbro to research and develop concepts for a series of interior and exterior digital environments to be utilized as locations and backgrounds for future marketing content.

This SCAD course was in collaboration with the New York office of the Mill with four mentors of different backgrounds ranging from FX and Lighting. The course focused on Look Development and compositing integration of rendered content on background plates. Progress from the work generated in this course was presented on a weekly basis for critique. _______________________ I was responsible for: ► Shooting live action backdrops on site. ► Creating models and its materials. ► Compositing FX artist work into the scene. ► Rendering scene with AOV breakdowns of FX and Asset animation. ► Finalizing shots through compositing in Nuke. ► Presenting final work to the four mentors on a weekly basis and apply critique to improve shots.

My studies varied wide across the Animation spectrum, as I have experience in both keyframe 3D animation as well as 2D animation Cell drawing. My courses have given me a strong understanding about emphasizing the human body based off emotion and reaction, body movement and limitation in space, the principles of animation, and strong sketch documentation of ideas and daily life.

As both a Visual Effects and Animation student, I focus on integrating elements from both studies that emphasize scene design, storytelling, modeling, and lighting. I have a fair experience in programs such as Maya and Houdini, and several render softwares ranging from Arnold, to Mantra and Renderman. Recently, I have been studying and exploring RIB language for Renderman on building models and shaders. I have had experience in video shot protection as well as post processing, and pass compositing.
