Invasion - Short Animated Film

I collaborated with 4 other student animators to help finish my friend's capstone project: a short film about the erasure of natural wildlife habitats in Florida. My contributions include animating all of the heron scenes, most of the gator running scenes, and also the scene where the gator flips off of his back.

Aphid/Sea Slug - Hybrid Creature Animation

We designed a hybrid insect/small creature for our Animation 2 class and composited it into a 2D backplate, complete with its own unique animations to showcase its new adaptations. I settled on an aphid with the poisonous wings of a sea slug, simply because I thought they looked cool.

 Edu-tainment Sea Turtle -
 2D Animation

In my Animation Basics course, I worked with a team of three to produce an educational animation regarding the life cycle of leatherback sea turtles. 

I have contributed by researching and writing the script, storyboarding the video, and illustrating most of the backgrounds and characters in Photoshop. I puppet-animated  a large portion of the animals with After Effects and composited all the major scenes together, as well as adding parallax effects on the backgrounds.
