Pixar

Projects I've worked at at Pixar from 2000 to present. These require Quicktime 6 or greater.

"Toy Story 3 " Showreel - 22 MB Quicktime movie w/audio. ©2010 Disney/Pixar. Here are most of my shots from Toy Story 3. I worked on the film for about a year, and also did a lot of pre-production testing, which is not seen here.
"WALL-E " Showreel - 40 MB Quicktime movie w/audio. ©2008 Disney/Pixar. This is a compilation of most of my animation work on the film WALL-E, as well as some promotional animation I created for the Super Bowl commercial.
"Ratatouille" Showreel - 1 MB Quicktime movie w/audio. ©2007 Disney/Pixar. I only animated one shot on Ratatouille; I was working on WALL-E most of the time, but I begged them to give me a shot on this film because I knew it was so special. I only did Colette and Linguini skating, not the other characters.
"Big Stars" - 3 MB Quicktime movie w/audio. ©2006 Disney/Pixar. This is a commercial I directed for State Farm and Pixar featuring characters from Cars. I didn't direct the voice acting or story but I directed all aspects of production and post-production, and I animated a couple of shots in there, too.
"Cars" Showreel - 18 MB Quicktime movie w/audio. ©2006 Disney/Pixar. Here are the shots I animated on Cars, including some shots from the short film "Mater and the Ghostlight" and the commercial "Big Stars" for State Farm.
"The Incredibles " Showreel - 27.4 MB Quicktime movie w/audio. All of this content is ©2004 Disney/Pixar. Here are most of the shots I did for the film and promotional material, as well as a few gags I did for fun.
"Finding Nemo" Showreel - 8.6 MB mpeg4 movie w/audio. All of this content is ©2003 Disney/Pixar. This is a collection of some of the shots I did for the film and promotional material. And to all you Australians, they're saying "mine", not "mate".
"Monsters, Inc." Medley- 13.3 MB mpeg4 movie w/audio. All of this content is ©2001, 2002 Disney/Pixar. This is a collection of some of the shots I did for the film, the promotional material and the short, "Mike's New Car" (all available on the DVD). Contrary to popular belief, I had nothing to do with the design of the one-eyed, green monster "Mike".
