I worked as a Cinematic Designer on Transformers Fall of Cybertron (Xbox 360, PS3) at High Moon Studios – Activision in Southern California. Here is a playlist of some of my work that I created but please don’t forget to check out my Demo Reel for highlights:

The Starscream coronation scene is a definite highlight (yes, the infamous dialog exchange takes place!) and the level involving Grimlock and his classic T-Rex transformation is a delightfully empowering jaunt. Destructoid
