Final Film Animation
AJ has worked on many films (imdb page) with many of those films being on the final animation teams (as opposed to virtual production). A few to note are: Skyline (2010), Battle: Los Angeles (2010), Avengers (2012), Detective Pikachu (2017), Sonic the HedgeHog (2018), Maleficent 2 (2019), and a few others, with several of those roles being the principle or lead animator.
Game Animation
While VFX and film animation is fun, the actors are usually real people and provides less opportunity for character work. AJ has a passion for character rigging and animation so game dev is where he can stretch out and have some fun. Hand keying is AJ’s favorite but using mocap as a base still has some solid fun involved (like with Quantum Break).
