Employment

Hoxton Redsox (Feb. 2011- March 2012)

Freelance

For the past year I have worked freelance on various projects for London based independent Visual Effects studio ‘Hoxton Redsox’,

including productions for RSA films, ISO Design and River Island.

Tripwire Interactive - ‘Rising Storm’ Expansion/Mod (Sept. 2010 - Present)

Rigging/Animation

Rising Storm is an expansion pack/total conversion modification to PC video game Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad

developed by Tripwire Interactive. My duties on the project include:

· Character Skinning.

· Rigging first person and third person weapons.

· Creating animations for Weapons and characters.

· Much of my responsibility is optimising the workflow for other animators. This included taking assets from Maya into UDK, and

preparing assets ready to be implemented into code.

Other Experience

During my time at University I contributed as a 3D artist on many video game projects, most predominantly as a character and

environment artist on a collaborative final major project. With a 15 week deadline, we created a working game demo which was

showcased at the 2010 ‘Brains Eden’, a Cambridge based video game event hosted by Anglia Ruskin University. Also as part of

Brains Eden I was involved in a ‘games jam’ leading up to the events opening, which involved collaborating with other students to

create a web based game in 24 hours. Details and footage can be viewed on the 'Game Projects' page.
