Character Animation with Dialogue

Selected and screened at The Roseville Animation Festival (2012) and the Los Angeles International Underground Film Festival (2012)! This is a short animation made by myself and two other students at DePaul University. We were going for a "paper cutout" look for the style, but it was actually made in Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects and edited in Premiere. Our team was so small, we all had a hand in pretty much everything at one point or another, but we gave ourselves a little credit for the main tasks. Hope you enjoy it!

These are some of the character/environment designs for my thesis short animation, working title "The Bookworm".

This is a collection of my animatics and storyboards of stories I have written, with intent to develop. Royalty-free music from Opuzz and Freesound.org

A progression through my work on a Study Scene. This work was done primarily in Autodesk Maya utilizing Mental Ray.

The character models for "The Bookworm". These are pretty much created directly from the character designs.

A quick experiment in pixilation. Special thanks to my live shoot teammates/actors Joshua Tewell and Robert Greasham!

This is a short piece of raw video from "Grandpa" followed by some production shots. This project is currently in post.

This is some of the puppet production work I am doing on "Grandpa", my most recent short stop-motion work in progress.

I entirely created this stop-motion short from pre-production through finish. I created all models and miniatures, animation, ect.

This is a collection of the stop-motion animations I did while learning from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios.
