RAGE · INTRO

I was tasked with doing the intro animation for the game. This included both the cinematic moments as well as the entire drive from the ark to the Hagar settlement. I even ended up rigging and animating Dan's buggy to slide down to the player because the ai buggy would never end up in the correct place(I actually have an outtake reel of that). In addition to all of the animation, I also did most of the scripting to get the timings right for when certain events would trigger such as the balloon passing by or the bandits shaking down settlers in the background. Pretty much everything from the time you have control over the player to stepping foot in the ghost hideout was handled by me in terms of animation. That includes Dan and all of the characters in the Hagar settlement. Because there is so much work, it's easiest to show it as one long video, though some of the individual Hagar settlement characters can viewed seperately via my Rage menu.
