My feature credits include Titan A.E., Anastasia and Little Bear. There were other projects in development at Fox Animation Studios that never made it to screen, at least not in their original incarnation. These projects included the Africa project, Faust and a classically animated version of Ice Age
Titan A.E.
I served as a conceptual artist on Titan but most of my responsibilities were in the drafting of blueprints for the 3D department to work from. I drafted anything from weaponry and vehicles to space stations.
The following images are of space ship concepts, 'nose art' for the space ships and the evil Drej!
The core of my work; blueprints for 3D interpretation
Anastasia
Anastasia was not only my first feature job, it was the first job starting off my animation career. Recruited from Sheridan college during the animation boom in the 90's, I was hired into the layout department where I also contributed many conceptual designs including the final version of the Fabergé egg music box.
Little Bear Feature
Although this was a direct to video production it was considered a feature non the less. This was the first project I worked on when I started working at Nelvana. I learned very quickly to tailor down acceptable quality to compensate for the much tighter budgets and time constraints television production required. Production coordinators were very upset with me when I brought them huge drawings on 17x24 inch paper which needed to be shrunk down to fit 8.5x11 sheets!
Africa, Faust and Ice Age
Fox Animation intended to produce several features but unfortunately shut the studio doors before any further projects could make it to production. Ice Age was originally going to be animated classically but was handed off to Blue Sky Studios and produced in 3D. Faust I think was a very faint passing thought and the Africa project actually made it into animation but no further.
Majority of the work I enjoyed was character development for Africa.
