Erik Jamison

Erik Jamison is one of the founding character artists brought in to 3D Scan, Texture, and Animate the hi-res interactive sequences for the original Fallout game at Interplay/Black Isle.

Career
Teamed closely with Leonard Boyarsky and Scott Rodenhizer, Erik took the sketched reference and sculpted figure heads to create the living face-to-face characters where your speech choices, mixed with your skill stats, determined the story and outcome of the game.

Compiling video references of the voice actor's choice performances, the inhabitants grew to become formidable characters in a method that later evolved as industry-standard in facial motion capture; alive with artistic embellishment opportunities. Erik better utilized this technique in his next projects: Star Trek: Secret of Vulcan Fury, Parasite Eve, Titanic (film), Final Fantasy: Spirits Within (film), Area 51, and Gladiator: The Crimson Reign for the ravenous hordes that followed Interplay.
