Doomsday Zone

--Update March 2012--
Guys, I wanted to say thank you for the support over the last year. I know everyone has been wanting me to finish this animation, I'm sorry but that wont happen :(. Like I mentioned in the video's description I've got a wonderful position at BioWare now and I'm focused at building my career there.

However, in the spirit of keeping this channel alive I've uploaded a few scenes that I created from Mass Effect 3, please take a look at them if you're interested in what I've been working on in the last year!

This will probably be my last video upload for a long, long time. This is a project I started over a year ago, the goal was to remake the last zone from Sonic & Knuckles as a 3D animation. I wanted to add additional story points at the beginning and end to compliment the existing canon of the game. This is evidenced by my little additive prologue where Sonic finds the emeralds in space. I had planned to have a sky-diving sequence where Sonic loses his power at the end, and dives after the falling master emerald with Tails picking both of them up in the nick of time. I would have shown them flying to the floating island, dropping off the emerald and roll the credits with them flying off just as the game did it.

The plan was to finish.

So why didn't I finish? I got burnt out. Animation is a tough craft. It's especially tough when you're not sure of your own abilities. Slap that on top of having a full time animation job at the time, and it's a nightmare having the will to make time for this. You spend all your day on Autodesk Maya, the last thing you want to do when you come home is load up Maya again.

I'm releasing this now because I think things have really changed for me. I've moved away from my animation job, and got a new job working at BioWare, which is fantastic. I don't do animation there which is nice, so there's definitely a gap in that regard that might make me come back and finish. There's always that hope. I want to finish so much, there's so much I want to do for this project. So hopefully one day...
