The GraveYard
As I develop and grow, I realize not all of my projects should be on my portfolio anymore but I have a hard time getting rid of the works that were key steps in my growing and learning experience. So this space is where these projects are laid to rest, but not entirely forgotten.
Rescue
Created in 2019 during the fall semester of my freshman year of college in Adobe After Effects. It's silly and cheesy and hard to let go of a dragon with their tail stuck in a door. I drew and animated everything in it.
Saloon Environment
Created in 2019-2020, this work really shows my love of old westerns. I hand painted and modeled everything in this scene. Then use it for an animation that is further discussed under S.O.S. Studios section below. This was a really fun way to gain some experience in modeling and in painting in 3D. This is an early early glimpse of my 3D work

Reflection:
While this project is admittedly a god awful animation made in 2020, it was a fantastic learning experience. I learned about working in and leading a team, had a taste of what a full production pipeline in an industry would look like, and was able to try my hand at every aspect of creating a 3D animated movie.

Preproduction and Description:
Showdown is a different twist on one might expect out of an old western bar fight or a good old-fashioned show down. The challenger certainly was expecting something more traditional, but the Yeehaw Kid has other ideas. Any hesitation is all it takes to lose the fight. I was heavily inspired by classical old western movies like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West. Westerns hold a special place in my heart and the characters and scenes that stem from them are iconic.
