WATCH: Digital Filmmaking & Animation Reel

This reel is narrated. Headphones on. Crank up the 4K.

I thrive in problem-solving situations with limited resources, bulldozing through creative barriers with a vigorous self-starter mindset.

I conceive and craft conversation-sparking scripts and bring storyboards to life through strong video editing and motion graphics skills (Final Cut Pro X, Premiere Pro, CapCut).

My work showcases a honed, intuitive sense of pacing and the creation of engaging emotional journeys. Additionally, I create my own unique brand of VFX and immersive experimental 2D and 3D animations. Audio recording and clean-up are also within my wheelhouse.

From Dell Technologies & NVIDIA Present Creator School, a branded content series I made with those companies.

Check out this side-by-side to see my process of creating/editing shorts and the scope of enhancements I implement when adapting long form content into short form (creating clips).

As you can see, I am adept at both producing original video content and adapting existing content for new platforms and trends.

Adult Swim “Telesnackinesis” (Channel Interstitials Spec)

3D Modeling | Animation | Texturing

New York Comic Con “Horror Show” (Event Promo Spec)

3D Modeling | Rigging | Animation | Texturing

For these two animations, my goal was to achieve a popular aesthetic known as Cel Shading or Toon Shading — most commonly used in anime video game adaptions. The effect makes 3D models appear more flat/closer to a cartoon, while not losing the 3D depth. My results here were effective within the medium of animated video.

Building The Scene In Autodesk Maya

Before Cartoon Texture

I animated the “Roomba” and levitating foods in Maya. For quick customization, I created virtual green screens for the background TV screens. Inspired by Adult Swim and MTV interstitials, and bowling alley animations.

FX Breakdowns

Safety Space “Room Sickness” Visual FX

Digital FX. I did the tracking & coloring.

I’m particularly proud of the coloring on this.

Safety Space is a short film about AI safe spaces I made as a critique on performative allyship in academic institutions.
