Here is some video footage and stills from a project called "Wax House: The Legend of Jack The Ripper". It's a free roaming, multi-player, virtual reality experience in which players work together to find clues and solve the mystery of Jack The Ripper's identity. Wax House ran as a location based pop up attraction in Southern California during 2018 and 2019. I was responsible for production design, modeling, texturing, lighting and animation. This was one of the most unique projects I've ever been involved with. I'm hoping I get to do more of this kind of thing in the future.
