Record reference, plan things out, but, most importantly do things with love so that they come out as best as they can

Pay attention to your spacing while you animate to ensure that things feel like the have a lot of energy
Here is an example with #veto on #valorant

Dolmir’s Revenge.
I did the Marquee. Meaning that I did the weapon that is most representative of the skin, we prove it out and then for this case @kaileyani did the rest of the guns and @jevremocni did the finisher!
Both kicked butt!

Animating the abilities on Veto was awesome

The interceptor was the first ability I did for him. Its the one I resonated the most and had the most ideas for.

Here is a little behind the scenes process

#Veto #characterselect #animation
This was my pitch video for the team. This is step 0.
From there we have a discussion to see if we want to go in this direction or not and how to plus it.
This was one of my favorite days in the office. Fun fun fun

Radiant Entertainment System was my second skinline that I worked on on #VALORANT

On the Ghost inspect I animated a sequence of button presses. Can you guess where its from?

I animated the finisher for #PreludeToChaos
the 2.0 is coming out and I wanted to show a little bit of thought that went into the #animation of it
