Character Animation with Dialogue

These pieces represent some of my character work with lip sync/dialogue. They were created with the Generi model/rig by Andrew Silke and audio clips from “Young Frankenstein” and “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” in Maya. They are provided here separate from my general reel because they have audio and because they have been rendered in 720 HD.

"Grandpa" Stop Motion Short WIP

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

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!
