Caricature Animation

An animation assignment for school. We had to create a 15 second intro animation using a caricature of ourselves. My caricature is based on a design I had previously created.

The animated series Adventure Time inspired me to create the character with long noodle like appendages. And like that series I wanted this to be pretty random and nonsensical.

Last thing I added was the blood in the blender and that just made the entire thing perfect to me.

A character rotation of my caricature.

A screen shot of my character from the animation.

More of my process and images after the jump.

Egg Comic + Storyboard + Animatic

A project for Storyboarding class. The goal was to create a comic based on an egg and create a storyboard from it. Then take the storyboard and make it into an animatic.
My idea reminded me of the first Alien movie.




Just made this animatic with voices I recorded, sound effects and a deadmau5 song.

Cereal Ad Storyboard (With Reference)

Three of my rendered storyboard images with photo reference, based on these comps and these thumbnails.
Scene 2. Close up of the running female, she is sweating and panting.
Scene 7. The vampire has the female cornered.
Scene 9. The female reaches around for anything she can defend herself with. She holds up a box of Wild Pops Cereal.

I don't like the way these turned out, I'll stick with Photoshop next time..
