Three Projects in One

I've had the chance to work on 3 out of the 4 Forbidden Journey installations around the globe.

Beijing Involvement Timeline

In Beijing, I collaborated with Andrew Carbonar who handled the RV motion profile. I took on the animation and integration of the Dementors and Whomping Willow. I rebuilt our rigs to utilize the latest robots from Kuka and updated our custom tools to handle the new rigs.

Orlando Involvement Timeline

When I got home from Beijing, I jumped on the Orlando attraction Obsolescence Project. I handled the final clearance checks and adjustments for The Whomping Willow and Soulsuck Figure.

In order to validate the installed robot positions, I 3D scanned both the Whomping Willow and Soulsuck. From there, I was able to complete the adjustments in 3DS Max.

Osaka Involvement Timeline

Currently, I am overseeing all motion-related aspects of the Obsolescence project for the Osaka installation of the attraction. This includes: 3D scanning the entire attraction, all motion profile updates for the ride profile and show action equipment, media sequencing, and all associated clearance checks.
