BSU Animation Holiday Card 2014 from Ball State University Animation on Vimeo.
Happy holidays from the Animation Major at Ball State University.

Animated Christmas Card done for Ball State Univirsity.  I modeled textured and animated the background and tree.  Followed the director's preference on making the tree look somewhat like a tin tree.

Graduate Experimental animation Fall 2014 that was themed “Darkest Season”.

An experimental animation I did for graduate school.  I was trying to us as much paint effects as possible to try to experiment with the tool.  The character rigs are from creativecrash.com.

Senior Project

My Senior Project.  I am not very happy with most of the animation in it, but I am pretty happy with how the style stuff turned out.  I was mostly doing the texturing and lighting.  The scenes I animated are in my Reel.  I did the texturing for everything but the Brute and Kid characters, and I did all of the Lighting/Render style stuff.

2D penciltests

A few assignments from my drawing for animation class last semester.   They are not cleaned up drawings.  A run cycle for a rat, a character turn around, a human run cycle and a human jumping forward in space.  

Lighting Interiors

A few scenes I lit for practice this past fall.  Didn't do any of the modeling/texturing.

The Junior  Project film I worked on this year.  I wasn't really involved in the story at all, but I did most of the environments(not the rocks in the beginning or the green symbols on the walls in the colloseum).  I designed modeled and rigged the dragon, and I did all the lighting and half the animation.  I did not do any of the textures.   I did not have as much time as I would have liked to work on the animation or lighting, but overall I am happy with it. 

Laundromat

My final project for Stop Motion Class.  It was the first time I had used the puppet.  I like how the set turned out.  Hope you enjoy it.
