Oniko

At the UTS Animal Logic Academy in 2025, I worked on the 3D animated short film 'Oniko' directed by Alex Weight. Throughout this production, I worked in a team of 3 rigging artists and was responsible for the custom character rig made for the Princess which included a full body and facial rig.
Occupational Hazard

In studio 2 at the UTS Animal Logic Academy, we had only 10 weeks to complete this VFX project, directed by Ross Anderson and Raphaël Gadot. My responsibilities included motion capture calibration and retargeting, and the hazmat character rig.
