These 3D animations were created between the years 1999 and 2006. I started working with 3D animation at Highland Park High School, IL. 60035; http://hphs.dist113.org/Pages/Default.aspx, in a class called Engineering Principles taught by the best teacher I've ever had John Connolly; http://www.ratemyteachers.com/john-connolly/350609-t. I and fellow classmates started the 3d animation curriculum at the high school by petitioning the board for the class to be listed. I was passionate about 3D from the very beginning with such inspirational films as Terminator 2, Predator, and Aliens. Though I tried to create my own style in high school, it wasn't until I graduated from Loyola Marymount University;http://www.lmu.edu/ taught by Rob Burchfield http://sftv.lmu.edu/faculty_staff/facstaff_list/Rob_Burchfield.htm, that I began to excel at 3D modeling, particle physics, IK bone systems, animation rigging, and UVW texturing. As a well-rounded animator I've experienced both traditional and new age media approaches in creating animated films. I was taught animation by sharpening my artistic abilities, with life drawing courses and clay sculpting. I used these same principles and skills in the 3D realm by reusing my knowledge of lighting and form to create something wholly new.
At about the same time in 2004, I began developing with Adobe Flash. Since then I’ve been trying to unite the world of 3D with the developing world of Flash. By combining these two a whole new world of possibilities has suddenly unraveled itself. Move out of the way Steve Jobs im coming. Get ready for 3D Flash.
