Projects

I did an internship in LA for a startup company called Change Lab with a mission to produce a series of educational video games to help charities and nonprofits learn the ins and outs of acquiring donations along with other ways to make their charity more successful.  I was tasked with making animated conversations for the game along with assets for the game-world.

A fun project for one of my classes featuring the swearing scene from the King's Speech and type in motion.  This was a blast to create as well as a challenge in some areas with getting the type to move just so and the timing of everything.

Static Trip was my senior capstone animation.  First semester was spent gathering ideas, creating storyboards, and making an animatic.   Second semester involved making a rough animation, then inking, then coloring, and finally polishing everything up to show at the Riverfront Museum in Peoria.

Viewer Discretion Advised.  Last Chance Romance was a fun claymation Cailyn Talamonti, Caleb Wilson, and I worked on together.  This was the first claymation any of us had ever made and it was a fun challenge to build a little set, sculpt the characters, and photograph the whole thing frame by frame.

During my semester in LA, we made a game for an interactive media class.  I was the lead character animator for both the game sprites and the conversation pop-ups.

Various animations made over the years.
