2D ANIMATION

‘HELLO, MY NAME IS...�

1 minute 18 seconds FPS:25; Resolution: 1240x720 http://bit.ly/yY1GdQ DESCRIPTION Hello, my name is... is my first 2D animation. Inspired by animator Ryan Woodward (animator of Thought of You), online artist John Su, animation company BirdBox and much more, the final project reached over 1000 individually drawn frames. Completed in about 60 hours over four days, the process involved storyboarding, script-writing, pre-recording, postrecording, animation blocking, in-betweening, color balance, and video/sound editing.

All animations/drawings were done in Adobe Flash CS4. Editing done in Adobe After Effects CS4.

‘DING DONG’ 1 minutes 30 seconds FPS:24; Resolution: 640x360 http://bit.ly/xb7VKs DESCRIPTION A project requiring the altering of time (e.g., time lapse, real-time, frozen moments) in the short. A character encounters a door in the middle of nowhere. Curious, he tries to open the door. But what on earth is on the other side?

Ding Dong is a short animation project I did for my 2010 Fall Semester in ARCH5420, Computer Animation: Design in Motion. It is a small workshop/seminar that explores moviemaking through exercises in computer animation.

All animations were done in Autodesk Maya 2010 and 2011. Titles, credits, and editing were done in Adobe After Effects CS4.
