Stoopid Buddy Animations

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

I spent my summer studying both stop motion animation and character fabrication with Stoopid Buddy Stoodios in Burbank, CA!

These pieces represent some of my character work with lip sync/dialogue. They were created with the Generi model/rig by Andrew Silke.

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!

This contains various figure drawings, quick studies and still artwork that helps show my artistic and animation-related skills.

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

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

This is a very short, loose collection of things done in Maya 3D Dynamics. The character model and animation in the first clothing shot were provided by The Spine and is courtesy of the NFBC. The basic truck, island and head model in the hair shot were obtained from TurboSquid.

A grouping of my better miscellaneous non-CG animation work.

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