"Happy Feet" Feature Film. Dec 2006

My experience in Sydney, working for Animal Logic, couldn't go better.

I was hired as 2nd Unit animator, and after 1 month I began animating some of the main characters. I was going to work for 3 months and I stayed 9 (from May to December, 2006), and when the film was released, it won the Oscar for the Best Animated movie. Wonderful!

Animation was done in XSI.

Awards: Academy Award for the Best Animated Feature Film, and BAFTA for the Best Animated Feature Film, 2006.

Here are some animations for Paramount Comedy idents and promos I did during 2002 and 2003.
