Tom and Jerry CG R&D

While at Brazen Animation, I got the opportunity to supervise the modeling development for a Performance Test for Warner Brothers. The task was to integrate a CG Tom and Jerry onto a live action plate and have the characters perform with live actors. It was an awesome opportunity to work with iconic characters and to translate them from Traditional Animation into CG while still retaining their character and essence.

In addition to supervision, I was responsible for developing the production model and facial blendshapes for Tom.

My talented friend Kevin Taylor developed the production model and facial blendshapes for Jerry.
