Can't believe it's been 10 years since the release of Uncharted 4! Here's an excerpt from my 2017 Animation Exchange talk on creating the chase sequence.

Some early death anims for the game now known as #Deadlock . You can probably see these still on Professor Dynamo if you look close. #animation. Whether Games or Feature film, you can always add details to your work to enhance what the viewer/player experiences. #havefun

Atticus joins forces with Ekon, the legendary monster-slayer. Together with Condor, the team journeys deep into uncharted lands, venturing farther into Highguard than any Wardens have.
Watch “Skydrift” now to uncover what secrets the lost relic could unveil⛰

After centuries of being forgotten, the lost continent of Highguard has reappeared. A team of Wardens led by Atticus now ventures through the ringways to secure the Shieldbreaker and unlock the secrets of this mystical land.
Watch "Wardens" and discover what was once lost now✨

We are devastated by the loss of Vince Zampella.
Vince was one of a kind—a pioneer and creative force whose passion, humor, and leadership shaped not just legendary games played by millions, but profoundly affected his teams and the people who made them.
Many of us at Wildlight were fortunate enough to work with Vince, and these experiences remain foundational to who we are today. To us, Vince was a mentor and a friend. His spirit, his belief in bold ideas, and his love for the craft continue to live on in our work, our relationships, and how we treat the people around us.
Our hearts are with Vince’s family, friends, and the many teams across the industry who are grieving. He was a titan who will never be forgotten, and we miss him dearly.

@WildlightEnt Summer Event is over!
Part of our process is for animation, art & audio to work together on an in-engine animatic showing what our game mechanics could look like
Don't let the specifics of the design get in the way too much - give it flavor & make it look awesome.
Shawn Wilson retweeted
We had our 2nd Design Summit @WildlightEnt last week.
We flew in out-of-towners (myself included) and spent 3 full days in our LA office discussing the design of the game - what was working, what wasn't, and possible solutions.

🗓️ what started out as 3 animators working on 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘈𝘱𝘦𝘹 in 2018 has grown a bit more since then ❤️
(curious if this time we'll get more Reddit threads about 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘈𝘱𝘦𝘹! 😅)

A showcase of the Crypto Heirloom View Model animations.
A huge shoutout to my lead @jitterbot and the rest of the animation team for the sage advice and guidance they gave me to ship this awesome heirloom!
An additional shoutout to @johnnyyoung115 for his god-like VO ⚔️

Today is a day for celebration, where we look to the inspiring women at Respawn, in our communities, and across the globe. Happy #InternationalWomensDay 💜
