Star Wars: Visions "SITH" (2022) // Animation Reel

 

Here are the shots that I animated for SITH. I animated the characters, props, capes, hair and some of the cameras. I worked with Agora Studio for about five months on this project. Director Rodrigo Blaas (EL Guiri Studios) had an amazing vision for the show and his direction was excellent. Animation Supervisor Jacob Gardner was superb in leading the animation team as the whole crew worked remotely from all parts of the globe. Stunning production design and art direction by Carlos Salgado.

Director George Miller On Working With Robin Williams

Here's a poignant interview with director George Miller reflecting on his work with Robin Williams.

I also had the opportunity to work on Happy Feet 2 and I'm proud to have been able to animate one of Robin's characters. His voice acting was so inspiring and full of energy that the characters practically animated themselves.  Cinema won't be the same without him. He was a legend.
