"Frankenstein Title Sequence Animation", 2019

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_rNt-zE_EY
Mediums: Hand-drawn in charcoal, edited in Adobe After Effects
About:
Created for the course "Digital Media 1: Animation" at Skidmore College. The assignment was to create an animated title sequnce for any book published before the 1920s (in the public domain). We were allowed to use any medium such as stop-motion, frame-by-frame, or et cetera.

Mediums: Trace monotyping with printmaking black ink
About:
Created for the course "Narrative and Sequence" at Skidmore College. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we were limited in equipment and could not use the classroom, so instead we had to improvise a bit. This project was created using a technique called "trace monotyping" in which ink is first rolled out onto plexiglas, and then a thin piece of paper is placed on top. Using a writing tool such as a pencil, you draw your image onto the paper and wherever your tool makes contact with the paper the ink is picked up onto the page. Using this method I created a quick 6 second looped animation.

About:
A quick practice animation created in my free time. I used the technique called "rotoscoping" which involves tracing over live footage frame-by-frame.

Mediums: Animated digitally in Adobe Animate
About:
Created for the course "Animation 1" in high school. This was one of my first projects ever created for animation, and at the time we learned this when Adobe Animate was still called Adobe Flash. Although it's a bit old now, it's good to look back on how far my animation has evolved from.

Mediums: Inky

We were allowed to pick any book, and we were allowed to use any part of the narrative. We were advised to only use inspiration from a part of the book, and not the entire story. For my project I used the final arc from the book "The Invention of Hugo Cabret", by Brian Selznick. There are 2 good endings and 1 bad ending. Press "restart" in the upper right corner to begin.

There are only 2 endings to this story. Press "restart" in the upper right corner to begin.
