Soul Dragon Hatch ! Frost

Soul Dragon Hatch ! Frost was the project I worked on during all of the spring 2023 semester and it definitely shows a level of fluidity and polish that I had yet to achieve in my older films. For this specific film I emphasized animation over story and part of that was more so getting a jump on the later half of the process by forgoing a storyboard all together and instead focusing on the exact timing of everything. This is a process I have found works better for me especially when accompanied by sound.

Brave Knight

Brave Knight was my animation three final and one of the first big projects that was more than a couple of weeks. It was also my first real experiment with using Storyboard Pro in conjunction with Toonboom Harmony. As you might have noticed compared to my earlier projects, Brave Knight Employs a wider variety of shot types and angles as well as a usuage of value more complex than my other boards. I'm constantly striving to improve my craft and I think the development between my other storyboards and this one is evidence of that.

Swamp Siren

Swamp Siren was one of the first two films I completed at Massart. It was my animation one final and shows my more comedic sensibilities in the form of the fishman and the siren who fancies him. A relatively simple film compared to my current work Swamp Siren shows my strengths both at the time and now. Character interaction and animation have been a staple of my work for as long as I've been drawing.

A Visit to Mom

A Visit to Mom was the second of the first two films I completed at Massart. It was my Intro to 2D Digital Animation final and shows off my abilities to tell a more heartfelt and atmospheric story. With this I experimented more with integrating camera movements and loops of animation with regards to the fireflies. I also painted all of the backgrounds myself in Clip Studio Paint.
