Erik Jamison

Erik Jamison is one of the founding character artists brought in to 3D Scan, Texture, and Animate the interactive character 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 developing story and outcome of the Fallout game.

Compiling video reference from the voice actor's choicest in-studio performances, the inhabitants grew to become formidable characters in a method that later evolved as industry-standard for facial motion capture; still ripe with opportunity for artistic embellishments. Erik better developed this new technique in his next projects: Star Trek: Secret of Vulcan Fury, Titanic (film),  Parasite Eve,  Final Fantasy: Spirits Within (film),  Area 51, and Gladiator: The Crimson Reign for the hordes that followed Interplay.
