-Disney Research: Animation Internship-
Here are just a few projects I had the pleasure of getting to work on during my year as an intern!
Magic ID: Groot Conducting Experience
Magic ID: Groot Conducting Experience - AR
Responsible for all Baby Groot animation
Baby Groot rig provided by Marvel
This project allowed users to use a “magic wand” that would control how fast or slow the dancing Baby Groot animation would play.
Because of this, animation needed to be done in 60fps.
Dance Anim Progress Reel
Responsible for building a dance choreography from scratch using clips from YouTube and personal ref footage to fill in any gaps.
Magic Bench: AR



Magic Bench: AR

Snowball Fight: Haptics/Game Animation



Magic ID: Tinkerbell Experience
Snowball Fight: VR
Responsible for all animation and creating set design assets
Property of Disney Research
During my internship, I got to learn about many different ways animation can be implemented into projects- for instance, VR/AR/Robotics. Here are some short clips of a VR/Haptics project I got to work on.
Magic ID: Tinkerbell Experience - AR
Responsible for creating various animation cycles of Tinkerbell
This project allowed users to use a “magic glove” to interact with AR characters such as Tinkerbell. With the glove, you can then tap on different parts of your body to let Tinkerbell know where to land.
ie: hand, shoulder, head
