Action
The Power of Earth - Spring 2021
Taking inspiration from martial artists and dancers, I animated a choreographed piece to demonstrate Aang's earthbending abilities.
Cartoony
Wake UP! - Summer 2022
I explored dynamic movement accompanied by camera animation to support the energy of the animation while working in the established style of the Hanna Barbara cartoonists.
Snooping Cat - Winter 2021
In this piece, I explored capturing a wide range of emotions within a rubber-hose cartoony style. I was able to emphasize the emotions of Button's the Cat by exaggerating his poses to compliment his reactions.
Runnin' n Gunnin'- Spring 2021
Combining dynamic body mechanics and prop interaction, I created a piece that showcases a character's fun personality.
Mini Ernesto - Fall 2022
An animation test to explore the personality of the Mini Ernesto character created by my friend.
Home on the Range - Spring 2021
In this piece, I utilize cause and effect principles to transition the character through various poses and emotions. I wanted to combine this with a slapstick style of animation. This was also a great opportunity for prop animation.
Dialogue
The Interview - Spring 2022
Profound nuance in character's thought process through personalized body-mechanics and dialogue.
Motherly Moments 1 - Winter 2022
Animating listening and responding is essential to creating the illusion of thinking. This gave me the opportunity to practice animating and expressive body that reinforces the character's inner monologue, emotions and dialogue.
Motherly Moments 2 - Winter 2022
In this piece I focused on animating a character's thought process when responding to something that they heard though nuances of the face and body.
Creatures and Quadrapeds
Raptor Run - Spring 2021
By observing the run cycles of ostriches and emus, I was able to visualize the run cycle of a velociraptor.
Horse Walk - Spring 2021
In this walk cycle, I wanted to incorporate a personality to the horse since it is a more stylized rig with expressive facial controls.
Stalking at Dusk - Spring 2021
A quadrupede study that captures the naturalistic body mechanics of a tiger.
Tiger Walk - Spring 2021
A walk cycle study of a tiger. From this project, I am now able to apply my understanding of quadruped body mechanics to other creatures.
