Free Workshop: Call of Duty Animator Shares Game Animation Reel Tips

In this session, Call of Duty Animator Luke Madden gives his best practices on how to craft a “game-ready” showreel. He discusses the essential skills for aspiring game animators, including how to think like a game animator and create a standout showreel with a checklist of must-have animations. He also covers strategies for breaking down tasks to identify the key animations needed for even seemingly simple gameplay features and presentation tips for the best way to show off your animation.
Luke Madden has been a professional animator since 2017 and has worked on games, television and feature films. He is currently a Senior Animator at NDreams in the United Kingdom.
Luke’s first credit was working on the Division 2 with Ubisoft, and he is currently working on an unannounced VR title at Ndreams. He has also worked on Call of Duty and Fall Guys, as well as a few still unannounced AAA projects!
Luke mentors students in the Dynamic Action & Combat game animation course at Animation Mentor.
