SP: Smoke Break

Rough underdrawing for a new animation for Senior Project.

SP: Fat Dragon once more

Another take of the fat dragon, this time just a run and a flying cycle

SP: Wizard Take 2

Never uploaded take 1 but here is my little cut out wizard

SP: Animator Take 2

Take 2 at my Animator Lip Sync

SP: Pencil Test PrePro

Planning on a pencil test animation involving a girl getting ready for a night out. Going to use it for a nice piece of acting animation. This is going to be the background she'll be interacting with

SP1: Dragon Run 2

As much as I'd love to do a full 30 sec animation with this guy..I don't think I have enough time so I'm just gunna perfect one of his runs.

SP 1: Beatnik animation test

The animation I'm working on for my Senior Project 1. Any feedback would be awesome!

SP1: Piece 3

Started some pre-production on my first lip sync I'll be doing for my senior project classes. I have a little audio of a man saying 'I don't get paid enough for this' so I wanted to do an animator trapped behind stacks of paper and working away.

Pretty happy with his design just need to decide if I like his head big or proportional.

SP1: Wizard clean-up

Cleaned up my Wizard and Witch in Flash

Pretty happy with how they look. Hopefully they move smoother than my dragon

SP: Dragon Animatic

Animatic for the Fat Dragon animation I'm working on

SP: Piece 2 Pre-Pro

Pre-Production designs for my Senior Project 1 class yet again but this time for my second piece.

This will be another cut-animation but this time about a little wizard who turns a frog into a cute witch.

SP1: Storyboards

Storyboards for the first piece I'm going to be doing for my Senior Project 1 class.

I'm aiming for a 30 second animation and so far I have 18 storyboards..I may edit the story to be a tad short but I will be doing this as a cut-out animation so it might not be as much work as it seems



1- Pan down showing the sky and a dragon flying by and stop at the little fat dragon sitting and watching.

2- Fat Dragon looks at his tiny wings with a sigh.



3- Fat Dragon Gets determined

4- And runs off camera

5- Dragon is running across a field as fast as he can

6- Dragon squats down and jumps up




7- Slow motion of the Dragon 'flying' and being very happy

8 - Pull back to reveal he isn't moving and is only barely above the ground.

9 - Dragon looks down, realizing he isn't flying before falling on his face

10 - Close up as the Dragon starts sniffling



11- Dragon starts to cry and as he is crying, little sparks of fire start to come from his snout.

12 - As the dragon is crying, he starts to breath a lot of fire that pushes him back up to his feet.

13- Dragon realizes

14 - Dragon plots



15 - Dragon takes a deep breath, building up a breath of fire

16 - Dragon breathes as much fire as he can

17 - The fire jets the dragon off the ground and out of the frame

18 - The dragon is seen 'flying' in the background with a huge plume of fire pushing him through the air

SP 1: Dragon Run

Take two at a Dragon run, this time it is more of a gallop than a prance.

SP 1: Dragon prance

Moving around my dragon puppet to see how clean of movement I can get out of him. May end up re-building him.

SP 1: Dragon inked

Inked up my dragon in a sitting and standing pose. He is broken up into pieces so I can puppet him. I'm gunna goober around with him and make sure he can move smoothly as a cut-out character.

Senior Project: Piece 1

For my senior projects 1 and 2 classes, I've got to make 9 animated pieces in total to put in my portfolio.

Some sketches for my first piece. The concept is a little fat dragon that really want to fly but can't. This is going to be done as a cut-out flash animation! I'm gunna try and get a puppet version of him made soon and post it here
