"The Bookworm" Thesis Designs

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

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

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!
