Daniel

Over the course of the Game Development and Design program at the Visual College of Art and Design, I have learned a variety of skills and gained a new insight into the industry of film and video game creation. This demo reel is the culmination of nearly 2 years of hard work and determination, with a major focus on animation as the center piece. Please enjoy, a...

The focus for this animation was to bring to life an idea from a simple prompt. Daniel took it one step further and had focused more on the storytelling aspect of the assignment, as well as pushing the limits of animating without a reference to go off of.

A week before grad, and one final animation to add to my portfolio. Created in Maya, with a focus on scene creation, lighting, rendering and animation cycles.

Another one of the very first animations created during the Game Development and Design course at the Visual College of Art and Design. The animation was successfully done using reference provided by the teacher.

With heavy inspiration from the online game "League of Legends," and following the provided reference, Daniel created and rendered a scene that fit with the animation.

One of the first animations created while at VCAD. With a major focus on fluid body motion and the principles of animation, Daniel successfully replicated a baseball pitch from reference provided to the class by the teacher.

Created using the Unreal Engine, prefab characters and inputting animations from "Mixamo", Daniel created a cinematic with focus on shot composition, lighting, and storytelling.
