Junko Enoshima from Dangarompa-Final Project



This project was brutal. It was one of the hardest project that I did for 2d animation. I drew the character in Autodesk Sketch book. Photoshop crap out on me due to the recent update on Windows 10. I drew the eyes right on After Effects as I could control them better. The lips were the hardest part. I animated the character with parent-child connection on the layers. The skirt and hair was animated with the puppet tool. I loved the effect it had on the hair.

Junko Enoshima is the villain of the Dangarompa games and anime. She wants to fill the world with nothing but dispair. The song is called Tsubasa wo Kudasai and it is featured in the anime.

Sailor music video-Kinetic Typography



For the Kinetic Typography project we had to use After Effects and the type tool to follow the lyrics to a song of our choosing. I chose to use my favorite anime's theme song for its English dub-Sailor Moon. I experimented with the 3d shapes to create the planets of our solar system. I used what I believe to be the CC bubble effect for the stars. The planets are brighten with a glow effect that is super awesome. I used the camera shape to pan around the planets.

For the text I used the animate effect with blur and color change effects. This was the hardest part since I haven't really played with type in After Effects. This was a challenge. I drew the Sailor Moon figure with Coral Painter 2017.

Bounceing ball in After effects



This was a fun project. I had already done a bouncing ball for 3d animation using Maya but for this one I got to do it in my favorite program. I decided to use a shadow on the ball so the audience could tell when it touched the ground. I used a gradient for both the sky and ground layers. I drew a rock that the ball could bounce off of. The only part I didn't like is it turns into a Frisbee when it bounces of the rock.

Dog Picking up a bone-Weight Project




This project was not my greatest in my opinion. I haven't worked in Adobe Animate that much and I pretty much suck at drawing. In this project I animated my dog to grab and try to eat a big bone. The bone was the easiest to draw since I reference a product image on Amazon of a raw hide bone meant for big dogs.

Welcome to prime time death scene-Rotoscope




Nightmare on Elm Street is one of my favorite horror series. For this project I decided to do a Rotoscope of one of the death scenes. The female character falls asleep and is draged by Freddy Kruger into a TV that is hung on the wall.
