Project Involvement Timeline

For Jurassic World Adventure, I was brought on to support our lead ride animator while he wrapped up another attraction. I took on mechanical testing (FAT) profile development, media mock ups, and some profile iteration support before our lead had to step away from the project.

In December 2020, I completely took over motion profile development and led show sequencing for the attraction. I delivered the final ride motion profile and show element sequencing that was turned over to Park Operations in March 2021.
