"Quest For Camelot" Animation Demo Reel

Quest for Camelot, Animation Demo Reel.  In the summer of 1996 I worked as an animator at Warner Bros. Feature Animation on Quest for Camelot, directed by Frederik Du Chau.  I was the lead animator on the villain "Ruber", voiced by Gary Oldman.  As animators, we share our performance with the actor who delivers the lines - and their job comes first.  My role was to capture Oldman's performance on screen, and I was invited to attend the recording sessions, and I was fortunate enough to be able to draw Oldman acting out his lines. Above is an assembly of shots I completed on the movie. 

What I Learned on "Quest For Camelot"

Death of Ruber by Alex Williams (FX by Michael Gagne)

In the summer of 1996, I started work as an animator at Warner Bros. Feature Animation on Quest for Camelot, directed by Frederik Du Chau. 

It was an exciting time — Warner Bros. was building its feature animation division, hoping to rival Disney animation, and was recruiting artists from all over the world (including me) to join its team.
