Bioshock Infinite - Animation Director
As Animation Director on Bioshock Infinite and Burial at Sea 1 & 2, I built, led and creatively managed the animation team, from early R&D to final polish and bug fixing. I directed the mocap for Elizabeth's scenes as well as managing the cinematics team.
Early in Bioshock Infinite's development I was the Lead Artist. I was responsible for growing and managing both the art and animation teams. I worked closely with producers in prioritizing tasks and scheduling critiques as well as working closely with the creative director in establishing aesthetic, animation and cinematic goals.
Below are some examples of what my team and myself worked on:
