Stop Motion Animation: Animation and Fabrication
The Maestro: Stop Motion Animation Short Film
A big headed fox conductor and a practical quail assistant star in this story of an orchestration piece gone wonky. This project allowed me to put on all "hats" of animation: fabricator, animator, DP, Grip, Gaffer, Sound Designer. I used Dragon Frame for capturing pictures and Audacity for sound composing.

The Maestro: Fabrication Process I decided to make changes with characters from their initial conception to final fabrication. For armatures, I applied (steel and aluminum substructure lashed together with thread) and fleshed out characters using foam and athletic tape. Characters were felted and clothes were sewn together. Balloon latex for hands and even a bit of hairspray to tame down the fox's wig.

The Curious Snake: Clay Animation Short Film
This is one of my earliest stop motion pieces where I practice the basics: animating and transforming on a loop using clay. I experimented with timing, dynamics and character expression.

Conceptual Model Making
I did my own interpretation of Count Olaf's house from Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events as a model making project. John Dexter (who was Supervising Art Director on the movie) happened to be my teacher for the model making class. How cool is that!? My first time dealing with such complex, organic shapes. Everything was made from scratch since the design is so stylized. Definitely a challenge project but I think it turned out well.

Art Department: Fabrication
I made these props when I was interning at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, the company responsible for SuperMansion on Hulu. The moving flat cart was used in Season 3, episode 27 "Illiga Their Own" which is a spoof on IKEA. The pencils and pens we made as additional props for future set dressing of episodes. I learned after this experience that I LOVED making stop motion props.

The Killmores: Character Visual Development
Visual Development for characters in the 2D animated pilot the Killmores. I worked with Danielle Hawkes, the mastermind behind the project, on developing visuals for dark, twisted characters in a wacky world.

The Kite: Stop Motion Animation Short Film
Originally starting as a side project, I've taken a story my buddy Brian (author of Hunting For Witches: Salem's Burning) wrote for me called "The Kite" and started doing visual development on it. It's about a boy and his imaginative adventures with his mischievous kite.
I'm developing the portion of the boy playing chess with Death on the beach. Storyboard and designs have been created.
