“We brought Joel on to build a key asset for our Brass Tactics title - the Keep building is a central asset - highly visible and extremely complex. It evolves through three stages and has a lot of moving parts that not only had to look great they had to mechanically transform. Joel took the project from a sketch to a fully realized and beautiful asset. He did significant pre-viz work so the team could see his vision for the piece- and then created it. Joel was flexible and quickly adapted to our work environment, our selected tools for texture (Substance), and organization. Joel worked well with other team members and I would happily work with him again and will hopefully have that opportunity again in the near future.”

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Digital Arts at Henry Cogswell College in 2003. Most classes involved a small cohort of students studying various aspects of media production with an emphasis on 3D. I used 3D Studio Max, Softimage | 3D and Softimage XSI among other production tools like Adobe Photoshop, Premiere and After Effects. I learned a broad range of production techniques that allowed me to develop animation from preproduction to finished work. All of this was supported by extensive fine…
