Character Animations

This is my character animation page. Here you can find all the character animations I've done so far. They range from lip sync tests to props and basics.

Razor Shot 61

Razor is a film I am currently working on. The style is a bit different from the usual style I work with, so it was a little more of a challenge. Once I got the style down, it was smooth sailing.

Best Worst Mistake Sequence 2 Shot 8

This is a shot from my personal project where I animate a music video for the song "Best Worst Mistake" from the musical If/Then. For this shot, I really wanted to practice physical movement and solid drawing. I was responsible for all.

Raising Hell: Sequence 5 Shot 1

One of the shots from the film "Raising Hell," coming out in spring 2023. Animating with the camera move was difficult for my crewmate to understand so it got passed to me, though some of her animation is still present in the shot. I was responsible for all animation on the red character, scythe and bush. I did inbetweens for the blue character before he turns his head and all of his animation after he turns.

Raising Hell: Sequence 3 Shot 10

One of the shots from the film "Raising Hell," coming out in spring 2023. I was responsible for all animation.

Best Worst Mistake Sequence 5 Shot 9

This is one of my shots from my personal project. I wanted to practice a more delicate scene. I was responsible for all animation

Special

My second lip sync test. It depicts two friends as one tries to guilt trip the other into hanging out with him.

Enough

My first lip sync test was about a girl who just got in trouble with her parents and goes back to her room to vent.

Am I the Villain

This was my second time making a puppet, rigging it, and animating it. This character is the morally grey God of Ingenuity in my story.

As the World Caves In

This is a test animation to the song "As the World Caves In" by Matt Maltese. I drew it for practice with emotional scenes.

I'm Not a Bad Guy

I animated this one for fun and there's not much story behind it. This is a villain character in a story I've thought up. He'd be the main character.
