About
A reel I made comprised of animation I did my third semester in college, as well as some other works in the end.
Credits
Everything was made completely by me.
Technical Info
1. Project Silhouette, 2D animation
Programs used: After Effects, Photoshop, Audacity.
My first Animation done in After Effects, where I worked with bringing silhouettes to life as characters through movement. I recorded a lot of the sound effects myself, such as the opening and closing of the tackle box, the paper crumples, the pencil hitting the ground, and the kicking of the box. All other sound effects were found online, except the music, which was borrowed from a soundtrack.
2. Project Panorama, 2D animation
Programs used: After Effects, Photoshop.
I did everything by hand. No one told me of the weather effects in After Effects, so I manually created all the rain and water effects seen. Everything you see was drawn in
Photoshop using a graphic tablet.
3. Project Mochi, 3D animation
Programs used: Maya 2011, After Effects.
This is my very first 3D animation.
I designed, built, rigged, and texture mapped all three models as well as the set. I also did the animation and staging, which took two to three days. Really got into developing the back-story for my characters, especially Mochi the demonic teddy bear backpack. Rendered out of Maya and put together in After Effects, all by myself.
