Nate was also core to the creation of the GDC Animation Summit, which helped to establish a level of knowledge sharing about interactive animation that did not previously exist. His tireless quest to share his learnings was admirable and inspiring.

Sam Kieth did not bend for comics. Comics bent to him. I won't call his manner of drawing merely a style because that implies some level of artifice. Maybe not since Kirby had mainstream comics seen an artist with less filter between his imagination and the printed page.

Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.

53rd Annie Awards Announcing South of Midnight as the winner of Best Character Animation in a Video Game.

53rd Annie Awards Announcing South of Midnight as the winner of Best Character Animation in a Video Game.

The opportunity to bring to life characters that are wonderfully imperfect, but doing the best they know how within a messy world, and to be able to reflect that in the animations style, was a dream come true. To have our work celebrated by our peers at ASIFA-Hollywood, is humbling.

Yeah, that was a great show! I recently found someone had posted a recording of that show online, though I don’t remember where. He recently released an album with the NSO at the Kennedy Center. It is fantastic.

We weren't able to get funding for ENGINE ANGEL and I've been laid off from Ivy Road, so I'm looking for new full-time animation work (New reel is below! YT link: youtu.be/S4QWqyw_vEs)

Everyone else laid off in the thread are amazing people and great at what they do so please hire them ASAP!!

We are nominated for the Annie Awards & DICE Awards! Great animation in games can't happen on its own & requires the support of the entire studio. I'm so proud of the team, our partners & Compulsion's culture of celebrating craft.

No, don’t have the footage. @jonathan.gameanim.com you archive making of videos, maybe you have quick access to it? It was from one of the Call of Duty bts videos. A quick search is saying maybe Riley from CoD: Ghosts?

Yeah, I am close to filling the shelf I designated. Thankfully I’ve got most of my list, so I don’t expect as many this coming year. Maybe… 😅
