Inktober 2015

Here are some Inktober sketches that I've been meaning to post! Some of my favorites from October.

The Blue & the Beyond

Animating for the 2D short film The Blue & the Beyond, alongside my fellow SJSU ShrunkenHeadMan classmates and friends was an honor! We started animating on this film back in January 2015, and we completely finished it last month (August 2015). I'm so thankful to our director, Youri Dekker, for letting us all be a part of this. I animated, did clean-up animation, and am currently on the Social Media and Marketing Team alongside Brittany McGrath.

Here's the official trailer!

Stop-Motion Character Animation: Team Grilled Cheesy

Working together with my friends David Johnson, Lauren Chin, and Jessica Lin, we formed Team Grilled Cheesy (inspired by making and eating grilled cheese sandwiches during the making of this short) to create a stop-motion character animation for our Physics of Animation class. It was a lot of fun collaborating, directing, shooting, and editing with these three. While they animated the characters, I directed the shots and took the pictures with a DSLR camera.

Here is the final product. Enjoy!

Stormy Dorris Comic - Second Chances

This semester I signed up to join a DLP (Distance Learning Program) class with the talented artist Nathan Fox! Our assignment was to create a comic narrative about a character or object named "Stormy Dorris" that was strictly magenta. I have never drawn comics before, so this was a great experience and I learned so much Nathan about story, character, and being an artist. Very thankful to have had this opportunity and receive constructive feedback from Nathan to make this comic even better. Enjoy!

Recent jump test animation for ANI 115. We practiced drawing and studying the model for Dean from The Iron Giant.
