Hello #PortfolioDay I'm Jaron, a gameplay animator at Crystal Dynamics. Here's a little reel of the most recent thing I've worked on what had those hero types in it (I was responsible for a lot the guys they beat up).

“Oh RICHIE! I’m COMIN’ for ya!” I animated the title song from Nerdy Prudes Must Die, a horror musical about nerds who accidentally kill their highschool bully--and he rises from the grave!

It's cool that we allowed sophistic fanboyism of game engines take over the stupid fanboyism of game consoles.

This is a great glimpse into the future of game animation. Embracing fundamentals & applying the principles of animation to create something meaningful. Its time for game anim to move past realism. We are no longer held back by tech or hardware. The craft should lead us forward.
I've always loved how Spider-Verse brought comic art to life on screen. It inspired me to take on the challenge of replicating that style in UE My favorite effect is how movement is often conveyed as strokes and smearing instead of motion-blur #UnrealEngine #TechArt #StylizedArt

It's probably foolish to think a NYC mayor will successfully translate into being a national political figure, but I still think Eric Adams would be in my top 5 for "who will be the next Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden?".

When starting a new gig I WHOLLY recommend spinning up what I call a "How to Do Your Goddamn Job" file to keep track of naming conventions, pipelines, studio tools, best practices, aaaaaall the institutional knowledge you're gonna forget in a week:
