ANIMATION
​Videogame Level Demo​
This project was done using Adobe Illustrator to design the characters and environment and After Effects for animation and effects. I came up with an idea for a videogame concept and a level, and put it all together with my own imagination. It was not made into an actual game you could play, everything is animated in After Effects.
​Videogame Level Demo 2​
Here is another Illustrator/ After Effects project. It's pretty much the same concept as my other project, but this time of course it's a different kind of level. Here I went ahead with a Western/ industrial theme. This level and the other one would both tie into the same game.
​Thief n' Sidekick​
A short animation project where I had to pick one element from each of four different categories (characters, personalities, props, and environments). My elements were the thief from characters, absent-minded man from personalities (used as an additional character), cell phone from props, and forest from environments.
On a side note: for some reason it freezes for a split second on some parts when uploaded here, but my original video file plays fine.
​Deer Chase​
This project involved two original characters while giving a lot of exaggeration. It was done by sketching each frame, then brought into Flash to organize and animate.
​Two Animals, One Mallet​
A short animation clip done in pencil, frame by frame, then scanned and put together in flash. The animation involves two interacting characters, and this is the result.
​Two Animals, One Mallet - in color​
The same project as the pencil-sketched one, this time experimenting with a way to colorize it. Flash was used to trace every frame using a drawing tablet.
​Animated Wave Test​
This is a test project where I experimented with the animation principles of waves and studied the waves of certain objects, such as seaweed. Here I applied those principles to an original character of mine. Sketched by hand then transferred to FlipBook on the computer.
​Emotional Box Test​​
Here is another test project, this time using a pre-rigged box character to interact with an object and show multiple emotions. My goals here included using principles such as squash/stretch and exaggeration to give it that cartoon comedy feel.
​Tyrannosaurus Walk Cycle - Top View​
3D animation test using a pre-rigged tyrannosaurus rex for a walk cycle (top view). This ties in with the wave principles I applied to my 2D project. It shows more wave-like movement looking at it from the neck to the tip of the tail.
​Tyrannosaurus Walk Cycle - Perspective View​
3D animation test using a pre-rigged tyrannosaurus rex for a walk cycle (perspective view). This ties in with the wave principles I applied to my 2D project. More work is done here to really get that dinosaur-like movement in the feet.
​3D Walk Cycle - Front View​
3D animation test using a pre-rigged model for a walk cycle (front view). Part of the main focus was to perfect the flow of movement from the shoulders to the hips.​
​3D Walk Cycle - Side View​
3D animation test using a pre-rigged model for a walk cycle (side view). Again here, flow of movement is necessary, this time from the side view. Also, the way the legs bend was an additional focus.
