Elf on the Shelf Full Animation Reel

This reel is a collection of most of the shots I worked on for various Elf on the Shelf properties including “The Elf on the Shelf’s Night Before Christmas Music Video”, “Santa’s Reindeer Rescue”, and “A Fox Cub’s Christmas Tale” as a freelance animator for Primal Screen. Working with the team at Primal Screen on these projects has been an all-around amazing experience. I got to work and collaborate with amazing artists across different disciplines and parts of the animation pipeline, animate some really fun shots, and learn new skills and improve them on the job. I did all “hero” character animation in the shots below, crowd animation on the reindeer in the march shot, some mocap cleanup on Santa’s walk cycle, and animated all of the characters in the choir shots.
