Animations

Animation is one of my favorite things to learn about and to do.  I have always been interested in learning to draw, and I am even more interested in learning how to make those drawing moves.  I am constantly practicing and studying art and the principles of animation because I want to continuously improve my skills with a medium that I love.  I love both 2D and 3D animation, and I am always looking to work on new ideas and skills in order to create great animations.

Here are some examples of animations that I have created or helped to create.

3D Character Running Animation

A running animation that I created in Blender using a fully rigged 3D character model.  I made sure that the pose of each frame created a smooth run cycle and that the loos objects, such as the hair, jacket, and belts, followed the motion of the character in a natural way.

Spacefarer

A 3D animation I did that follows the launch of a spaceship into space.  I fully modeled the assets for this animation, and I used Blender's particle effects to create the smoke exhaust for the rocket launch.

Team 375 Safety Animation

This is the first animation that I did as part of a robotics team in high school, and it is the project that got me interested in animation in the first place.  It is a safety animation that highlights how to safely operate work areas and robots for FIRST Robotics competitions.
