Senior Thesis Animation - "Ostentatus"
This animation was apart of my senior thesis project "Ostentatus". The project centered around two characters, Sindyr and Malron, and the world the reside in. This animation was to showcase Sindyr's favorite pass time, pottery making. The animation shows Sindyr using his fire breathing as a sort of self-kiln to transform his clay into ceramics. This was also a project for my animation class, so I wanted to use this project as an opportunity to include my senior thesis.
Kinetic Typing to Audio - Audio Credits to Jerma985 on Youtube
"Kinetic Typing" is a type of animation that mixes motion and text into an expressive animation. For this project, I wanted to use an audio that would be super expressive to animate, so I chose my favorite Twitch streamer and Youtuber Jerma985 as the basis for the animation. The animation contains several references to past Jerma985 livestreams and references.
Tweened Character Animation - D.B. Cooper
This project was my first attempt at a looping tweened animation. The concept is inspired by the story of D.B. Cooper.
Pre-Production Packets
Pre-production packets contain concept idealization and storyboard images to convey the general idea of what the finished animation will look like.
Animation Exercises
The first two exercises were to learn how to use several different Adobe After Effect tools and methods of animation. The last two are hand drawn animation exercises drawn in Toon Boom Harmony.
