Animations

Generic flour sack animation that seems universally required if one studies animation.

Programs Used: Autodesk Maya, Photoshop, MentalRay

The assignment was to animate a bouncing ball by hand. 

I had an irrational amount of fun animating/lighting this…

Final for Animation II.

The assignment was to design and animate a robot, so I made 2 robots and an animation that was 3x longer than the requirement… Looking back I realize my texturing is pretty awkward and I *clearly* didn’t know that IK handles had a twist feature, but still… 

I also designed a really elaborate town for this that never ended up showing up in any of my camera angles, but it was still fun!

Human Animations

More references with janky haircuts. Animated in maya with a pre-made rig.

Maya Fail was my final for Animation II. The files got buried on my hard drive for years and I just dug them up this morning and did a quick and dirty recut of the piece. 

My roommate and I recorded the audio while being silly one night and I decided to use it for my final on a lark. 

I learned a lot doing this project, including what not to do in the future. All and all, I do like the character design. It’s something I might revisit in the future – I really enjoy these weird character designs and, apparently, animating eyes. 

Marsh Killer was my Mocap final. Frankly I’m amazed my teacher let me do this project for a number of reasons…

Mocap Actors: Alexis Bloom and Kevin Mai

Programs Used: Blade, Motion Builder, Maya, Mental Ray, Photoshop, Modo

Final for Character Animation I. 

This is the only animation I’ve ever done with a partner and I don’t remember who did what, but it was a fun all nighter project. 

I modeled/textured the whole environment while my partner was taking a 3 hr nap at 2 am. She woke up and called me a magician XD

Yup, that’s me in the reference… Judge my haircut all you want 😉
