Hey guys i recently was contracted by ESPN to do some work for X Games 17. I don't have the HD copies of the work just yet so here's a few screen cap videos of what I did.

For the first one i modeled the screen and X's the robot is holding.

For the second one the screen I modeled is hanging on the side of a building.

And one more has been shown today, This one I modeled and animated the X and the screens that come out and around it.

There is one more shot but it hasnt been shown yet so I can't show it just yet. Just thought I'd share this is my first real industry work :D i was very excited to see it on tv, i didnt do any of the renders or textures, just the models and the animation on the screens flipping out.

That's pretty neat. It's cool to see what lengths they go to these days for that stuff.

I'm a teachers assistant/student at full sail university and i guess i showed my teacher/boss that i was passionate and he vouched for me and got me brought onto the project, i was so nervous to see it but it didnt turn out that bad at all :) thanks for the comments guys!

Yeah that's cool.

I've been a bmx/mtn biker/snowboarder/skater for as long as I can remember and work in a sign shop. So it's always cool when you get to do something you are interested in.
I get to do a tiny bit of work for X games in Aspen every winter.
(I don't get to do 3d, or make new logo's or anything)

But still, fun to do that stuff over the typical daily grind.
