Acoustic Sounds - 2021
This educational animation was created through researching a topic, writing a script, and then modeling and animating objects for it. Pictured above is just one of the early thumbnails created for the eventual animation.
As someone who (attempts to) play guitar, I wanted to have the experience of learning about its most integral function while getting the opportunity to model and play it for the animation.
The Distant Oort Cloud - 2021
This animation followed the same direction as the guitar-themed piece above: pick a theme, create the script, then model and animate the assets.
The Oort Cloud provided an interesting challenge to animate, because, unlike most solar objects, the cloud is a concept and not a "proven" material.
3D Object Animation Study - 2020
The goal of this project was to take random, found 3D objects to create a loose theme and working animation. Each object was modeled separately, textured, and then added to a larger cohesive scene.
Unlike the projects above, the aim was to communicate the theme through only visuals. Through the use of the uncanny and subtle discomfort, this animation works to create a 30-second, suspenseful atmosphere.
