Tooling videos

TDX-1250 Tooling video from Cameron Keffer on Vimeo.

These videos were made to showcase 1 specific piece of equipment, which is why everything else in the scene is white. Pretty basic animations, but they made for good sales tools. For these I did everything start to finish.

Line of Sight study

CMHI Driller from Cameron Keffer on Vimeo.

This was done a few years ago when a customer wanted a line of sight study done from the driller's chair to make sure there were no obstructions to the driller's sight during drilling operations. Once again, I did everything on this from start to finish.

Standbuilding Video

This is a recent standbuilding video my group has done. This was done as a team, and I handled rigging, modeling, and some layout responsibilities.

Rigging test

ST rig test from Cameron Keffer on Vimeo.


This was a quick rigging test for an iron roughneck. The equipment was set up with a custom control object that allows animators to control all the functions of the equipment without having to change the object they have selected. It also allows them to edit the equipment's keyframes and curves once again, without having to select different objects, thus speeding up animation workflow.

This is what the control object looks like in the scene. To animate with it, you simply select the object and then edit the controls in the toolbar on the right side of the screen.
