Here is all of my 2D animation from 2023-2024. It mostly consists of hand-drawn animation but there is also a couple works of 2D rigging animation. To see these in full screen, all of my animations are on my Youtube.
Aisling tells Brendan a corny joke, at first he's not interested but then has a change of heart. The goal was to animate two characters interacting, and then embracing in a hug. Working on this shot helped me learn to animate arcs for character movement, as well as to play with the timing between two characters. Made in 2024. Made with Toon Boom Harmony, Wacom Cintiq
An action shot featuring the character "Celestine" from the film Ernest and Celestine by La Parti Productions and Les Armateurs. The goal of this animation was to animate someone running away and then jumping over an object, but it ends with a silly twist! This was a great opportunity for practicing follow-through animation with her cape and tail. Made in 2024. Made with Toon Boom Harmony, Wacom Cintiq
This shot shows Squiggles the Clown revealing his secret ingredient for the meal he's prepping. Squiggles was animated to have lots of squash and stretch, fitting with his bouncy walk and rubber hose arms. I also experimented with line boiling for the 2D characters. Made in 2024. Made with Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe After Effects, Wacom Cintiq.
A shot from the upcoming short film, "Bust in Show," featuring Sabrina and Rhia as they leave Gnarpina behind. Working on this film was a great way for me to try out animating on three's and focusing on key poses, rather than animating on two's. Also experimenting with a lineless art style was lots of fun. Made in 2024. Made with Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe After Effects, Wacom Cintiq.
A shot featuring Lily as she jumps from pillar to pillar, with a bit of struggling, across a pond. This was great practice for cleaning up rough animation that was drawn from another artist. Made in 2023. Made with: Wacom Cintiq, Toon Boom Harmony
A shot of Lily crying as tears fall down from her face. I focused a lot on the timing for this shot, and with the help of the lead animators I figured out how to replicate the line art style for this film. Made in 2023. Made with: Wacom Cintiq, Toon Boom Harmony
The goal of this project was to animate a character talking to someone but also getting distracted by something else, which I showcased clearly with the main character trying to talk with his partner while also dodging bullets. Made in 2023. Made with: Toon Boom Harmony, Wacom Cintiq, Adobe Premiere Pro. Audio is from Lupin III Part 2.
Here's a compilation of some 2D effects animation I've made in 2024. I learned a lot about avoiding repetitive design and pacing of movements when it comes to effects. This was also good practice of using straight ahead animation. Made with: Wacom Cintiq, Toon Boom Harmony
Here's a 2D rigging animation I did with a little skunk character. The goal of this animation was to make a 360 turn of a character, master controllers for the head, and to animate the character in a real-life setting. Made in 2023. Made with: Wacom Cintiq, Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe After Effects. Song: Exit the Premises by Kevin Macleod
A shot of my cartoon self walking into frame and discovering a cute skunk plush. This was my first time animating from a 2D puppet rig, but I succeeded in using squash and stretch, as well as other animation principles overall. Made in 2023. Made with: Wacom Cintiq, Toon Boom Harmony
