Pacific Rim Animation Reel, Falling Cars 'n' All

With the recent release of Pacific Rim for purchase I thought I'd create an edit of all the shots I animated on the film. I've even included the simpler ones of falling cars and hovering helicopters.

I've also added a few shots for continuity (marked with a red dot), most of which don't contain animation apart from the one at 0:52 which was animated by Cedric Lo. So please note, that's his great work there.

Pacific Rim was a really enjoyable project to work on. I joined ILM thinking that, with their work being of such high quality, there would be many rounds of revisions and getting shots approved would take a long time. I was surprised to find that there was a lot of trust placed in everyone's ability and with unprecedented access to the director, Guillermo del Toro, I was able to animate more footage in 6 months than on any other live-action film I can think of.

Guest Instructor at iAnimate

I have some news. I'll be a guest instructor for iAnimate's upcoming Creature workshop. I shall be giving an online lecture talking about various topics and problems surrounding animating flight. They've even made this fancy video to promote it.



If you're interested check out their creature workshop breakdown page here. There are a host of subjects, all taught by some amazing animatory individuals.
