LOVE & LENSES

3D Creature Short Film (Collaborative Project)

This nature mockumentary-style short features Jeremy the Bone-Jawed Lizard, who's trying his best to woo a prospective mate. Unfortunately, the object of his affection is a little rigid.Since this was a 2nd year collaborative creature design project, I was mainly responsible for character animation and texturing.SOFTWARE USED: MAYA | SUBSTANCE PAINTER | PREMIERE PRO

DON'T POKER THE BEAR

2D Short

A DND-inspired short featuring a high stakes gamble.I took this opportunity to practice character animation and storytelling - it was a fun challenge, trying to create a clear sense of mood/atmosphere while exploring the acting of two very different characters.SOFTWARE USED: TVPAINT | PHOTOSHOP | PREMIERE PRO | AFTER EFFECTS

IT'S HIGH NOON

2D Looping Walk Cycle

A 2nd year assignment focusing on portraying personality through a walk-cycle. I love the Western genre, so it was only natural.SOFTWARE USED: TOON BOOM HARMONY | PHOTOSHOP | PREMIERE PRO | AFTER EFFECTS

"JUST PUSH THE BUTTON"

2D Lipsync Challenge

This was a 2nd year lip-sync assignment featuring my good friend Mehl as a clumsy construction worker on her first day of the job. (The context for the audio was a rant about Temu).I had a lot of fun trying out more exaggerated character acting.SOFTWARE USED: TOON BOOM HARMONY | PHOTOSHOP | PREMIERE PRO | AFTER EFFECTS

SNAKE TALE

2D Animated Documentary

For this short documentary, I animated a snippet of an interview I did with my mother where she reminisces on her childhood growing up in China. The story in question is an incident involving a snake in the classroom.I wanted to evoke a nostalgic feel as she recalls the story from her subjective point of view, by using a mellow visual style and abstract shots/transitions.SOFTWARE USED: TOON BOOM HARMONY | PHOTOSHOP | PREMIERE PRO | AFTER EFFECTS

Meet Pickett, a friendly little farmer droid - what he lacks in size, he makes up for in tenacity! Too bad he lives on Alderaan...This was my 1st year looping diorama project, which was also my first crack at 3D animation in Maya.SOFTWARE USED: MAYA | SUBSTANCE PAINTER | PREMIERE PRO | AFTER EFFECTS
