2D Animation

Two projects I worked on were Baker Bobb, which my professor submitted to several film festivals and a student film, Red Winter. I assisted in character animation for both, and in character design and making keys for animation for the latter.

3D Animation

I'm familiar with the 3D programs Autodesk Maya for 3D animation and ZBrush for texturing.

Other skills I've tapped into include stop-motion, animatics, film compositing, audio editing and even remixing music... I take pride in my flexibility.

Hold the Phone

This is my final for my Language of Animation class, a 30 second film with the simple story of a dad waking his daughter from a bad dream. I had never animated much beforehand and it has been such a long way since then. Hopefully, its approach is NOT like mainstream and has an abstract story development (some of the basic components of avant-garde and experimental film) and is greatly influenced on Berthold Bartosch's "L'Idee" (1929); but most of all, I hope you enjoy it.
