Delano Athias - Animator

Bio:

Who is this..."Delano Athias"?

I really enjoyed prevising these sequences in Spielberg’s Ready Player One. As an animator, I love the previs process because it allows you to work efficiently, considering the time restraints. Though I’m unable to show my actual previs work on this film, I’m proud that my sequences were very close to the final animation in this video :)

Here are the sequences I previs’d in The Last of Us, Season 1…

Rigging / Animation Reel…

The work in this reel is outdated, but there are really cool sequences I’m unable to share, unfortunately.

From the archives…found a rig I designed several years ago :D
It’s good to reflect on one’s career path in order to track growth :-)
