Ruffled Feathers:
This piece required me to convert a letter in my name into another language, then make an animated GIF out of it. I chose Japanese, since I love East Asian culture, and received the Kanji shown below. This Kanji meant "hair," and "Feathers" which I decided to incorporate into the animation.

Low Battery:
This assignment was about learning the art of stop-motion animation. I learned how to use Adobe Bridge, and practiced Adobe Premiere as well. This assignment taught me how to work well in a group and the fundamentals and hardships of making stop-motion media.

Production Bumper:
I assembled this production bumper using only After Effects and a png I made in Photoshop. This short clip will be played at the beginning of future projects as of Oct. 31st, 2022.
My glasses and wild unkempt hair make up the logo, and I provide my name and portfolio link to anybody interested in my work.
DOME Project:
This project was made to work in tangent with the Dome projectors that are in the Peoria Riverfront Museum. The circular composition would be displayed on the roof of said Museum and provide the audience with an illusion of being inside of a barrel.
The goblin's voice is mine, I haven't done voice-over work before, but I had no other option than to do it myself. Hopefully, I did a great job and didn't embarrass myself in the process.
Cow Abduct:
Being my first attempt at traditional 2D animation, putting pencil to paper and using a light pad to create a 5 second long animation that I then looped and put on Vimeo!
The main struggles I've dealt with whilst creating this animation was the line weight consistency. Some lines get lighter or darker at times; more so than I wanted or originally planned. Straight ahead animation is more fun than pose to pose,
Elton Scare:
Another traditional 2D animation, this time we needed to create a character in order to animate. The character is a hyena named Elton, who's design and name is inspired from Elton John. I love how this turned out, more so than my previous attempt and seeing the finished product makes me want to do more!!

(Rough Animatic):
Another During my time at Bradley University, my final capstone project was something we had complete control over, the idea, what medium we use, the whole thing. I decided to make a story about a Shark wanting to work at a cute pastry shop! This is a rough animatic of the unfinished story.
