The Beauty of Life

This is the final product for my Environmental Concepts project. The entirety of this was inspired / based after Disney's Beauty & The Beast artwork and time period. I wanted to show the different moments throughout the day to express the peace and liveliness within the environment. Life is beautiful.

Noah’s Morph

My Morph Animation is based off of the Christian Bible scripture: Noah's Ark.

With only 96 frames to work with, I had to realize which moments were more significant to embrace and hold throughout the animation. In the creation phase, it was important to keep in mind the Principles of Animation: squash/stretch, anticipation/tension, etc. “Noah’s Morph” contains these elements and more; my internal ideology informing me to make sure my characters were appealing and engaging across all spectrums.

Long Story Short

"What does family mean to you?" This was the prompt given to our team for 2019's 24 hour animation contest. This unique short was the outcome; we felt that family is something you build, something you create. Not only is family about being blood-relation, but a concept you seek and find. Family is accepting, and a place where you belong.

My role within our group setting was Lead Storyboard Director and Animator. Being one of the storyboard artists, I gave our vision a graphic reality by translating our story idea into images. I kept the focus on the story and, above all, the action. I was able to engage in a management position and had a great experience with working in a team! My animations include: dog landing after trip // rabbit // lion

Excited Hand Shake

Working on my skills within Anticipation and and Tension, I decided to work with two characters: one that's more composed, official, and professional, while the other one acts as his opposite — energetic and enthusiastic. In regards to what the papers read, does it appear good news was shared?

Classic Bouncing Ball

Animating a bouncing ball may seem deceptively simple, but there are actually a lot of important principles in play within this test. In its simplest form, it teaches you the basics of timing, spacing, weight, arcs, squash & stretch, appeal, etc. True to any art form, we have to learn to walk before we can run.
