2D Animation
Frame by frame animations drawn in Clip Studio Paint and Adobe Animate.
Montage
This was created for Narrative Through Kinetic Imaging, a class I took at ECU. The assignment was to create a video sequence, at least a minute long, that conveys a story without using dialogue.
I chose to tell the story of a mountain rescue dog attempting a practice rescue until she completes it in time, earning her certification.
Cat’s Cradle Title Sequence
One assignment during my junior year of college was creating a title sequence for a hypothetical TV show or movie based on a book that has not already been adapted into a film or series. I chose Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut, a gritty yet humorous science fiction novel about a journalist who, through his research into the men behind the atom bomb, learns about the existence of “Ice-nine”, a substance that turns any water it touches into ice, regardless of temperature. Most of the book takes place in the fictional island San Lorenzo, where the narrator encounters political corruption, a bizarre religion called Bokonism, and, eventually, the end of the world.
The imagery in my title sequence was inspired by the symbolism, setting, characters, and visually engaging moments from the novel.
Flour Sack
This assignment involved placing a flour sack in an environment and having it expression multiple different emotions.
Ivar and Ooma
This is a recording of me playing a game I created assets for- the framework of the game was provided beforehand. Everything on screen was created and integrated into the Unity framework by me.
Moon Waltz
Moon Waltz is a personal project that is currently on hiatus. It features the song “Waltz in E-Major, Op.15 ‘Moon Waltz’” by Cojum Dip. The song always inspires vivid imagery when I hear it, so I decided to storyboard them into a semi-narrative and make an animatic.
