ANIMATION
A Little Levity
A little levity is an Animated Short Film I worked on as part of a group in 2017. I worked on the animatic, background designs, some animation and post end editing.
The animatic I helped work on was used to time out our visual gags as Tom the character in the short is harassed by a
balloon.
​
The finished short film shows the five stages of grief. Denial, Angry, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance as our protagonist is harassed by a sentient balloon.

POP IT!
Pop It!
Pop It! Is a group project I am currently working on. The basis of the project is to create a simple animation that can be looped and cut to make a music video for the song Pop It by Anamanaguchi. ​
​
I designed three lollipop girls to animate to for the song. The idea behind them was for them to be really creepy. I incorporated the idea of a slot machine into there eyes so to make their unblinking creepiness more effective.

The following animations were done in Harmony and Flash.
Lip sync exercise using Harmony. The character here is fully rigged and the lip sync was done using drawing substitution.
Push animation showing anticipation done using harmony.
The following are some animation exercises I've done this past summer to improve my animation skills. I did these using flash.
The bounce here shows the lead-up and follow through it would take for this little guy to jump through a hoop and off screen.
I did the head with anticipation to show different facial expressions and the overlapping motion of head turn.
