This was my senior film project at Savannah College of Art and Design. Two moths fall for the light of their life, but one of them cannot share.
The production of Gentlemoths was an amazing learning experience for me, and I hope soon I'm able to participate in another big, if not bigger project than this. I conceptualized, boarded, keyed all shots in this film, as well as fully animated, inked, and coloured most of them.
Special thanks to my team of animators, layout artists, cleanup artists, voice talent, and musician: Christine Amato, Camille Vincent, Diana Carter, Jie Sheng, Amanda Lucas, William Ball, Wei-En Tang

When you want to look cool on the desert road, your inhibitions fly out the window.
The prompt for this short was "Hell's Angels" and "Motorcycles", which fit perfectly with a character design I was working on at the time. (Metalfly)

This short was created in collaboration with Christine Amato and Camille Vincent in a 24-hour animation event with the theme "you can only have 1". What happens when a crazy cat lady's house falls apart, and she has to stay at an inn until it's rebuilt?

In spring of 2015, Shriner's Hospital enlisted the help of Savannah College of Art and Design to create three animated shorts for burn awareness with their characters Boots and Brewster. Being part of the Collaborative Learning Center's animation team, I was tasked to animate Boots the bear in three separate shots, as shown here. In order of appearance, the animators responsible for Brewster the kettle in these were Katherine Hughes, Katherine Hughes, and Brent Jones. The animator responsible for effects in the last two shots was Quinn Weston. It was a privilege to work with so many talented artists and create something special for children to learn and be inspired from, and something I hope soon to be a part of again.

Always Sunny Hazbin Hotel

Animatic Test

This is a storyboarding test given by Vivienne Medrano of her characters from an upcoming pilot I am also contributing to. The audio is from "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and is a non-profit, fan-made exercise. Hopefully soon I will be able to show my work regarding the official animation. I'm very excited to be a part of the storyboarding team!
