David Anthony Gibson - Creature & VFX Animation Reel

A collection of my most recent and favorite shots from the past 4 years. Films include: Enchanted, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Charlotte's Web, and The Spiderwick Chronicles. I was responsible for key frame animation on all of the characters in each shot.

Hi' David

cool animation Man!!

David, if i'm animation Using 3ds Max (biped) is that able to export to maya..?

[davidanthonygibson]

Thanks Bony, the last time I was in 3ds Max was a very long time ago. I believe you can save out/export your file to a universal format. I think an object file .obj is what I remember working. But a quick google search should help you out. Good luck!

So far the best animation reel I've seen online.

Did you rig and weight painted these models as well? specially that talking lizard that falls down? Have you done the lip-syncing face animation as well?

Wow man this demo is amazing. How much yeah of practice does it takes to have this level of anim? Because for my part I'm a junior a studied animation for the last two years and now I'm preparing my first demo reel. And if I compared my scene with yours, I'm like S*** my animation sucks ;P
