"Purple Heart" Puppets

Here are a couple of the puppets used in "Purple Heart"; the pilot and the old man. They were drawn on bristol, inked, then colored with Copic markers and finally cut out and held together with floral wire Scotch tape.

This is a cut out animation that I did for my Principles of Screen Design class. It was supposed to be ten seconds long and somehow ended up at twenty-two. Ah ha. Anyway, it's set to "Ole Buttermilk Sky" by Kay Kyser.

This is the rough animation for shot one of a 15 second short that I'm working on for my 2-D production class.

This is the final project for my 2-D Character Animation class. We were to choose a pre-existing character and a line of dialogue then animate it. I chose to use some concept sketches of Po from "Kung Fu Panda" and a line from "50 First Dates" (both of which belong to their respective owners). I worked hard on this and am rather pleased with it.

Here is an opening montage board for the 1970s TV show "The Secrets of Isis". This project was a lot of fun, even though the television show was painfully bad. If you need a good laugh, go watch it. This was toned in Copic neutral grays. Enjoy!

I thought I'd take a moment and share what I've been doing. In my Advanced Storyboarding class we were given Daniel Craig and Alessandra Ambrosio and had to cast one as a Jedi and one as a Sith. First we did the character designs, then a key frame illustration, and finally a storyboard of a lightsaber battle. Here is the cover illustration for the storyboard, as well as the character design for my Jedi, and key frame illustration.
