Feeling Blue
Feeling Blue is a narrative about a couple facing the difficulties of one partner’s depression. Addressing stigmas that prevail about depression and mental illness, the film evokes sadness and isolation as well as empathy for the characters as they face struggles while trying to go about their day.
Walk Cycle
This was the first stop-motion I made, the assignment was to use objects to create a walk cycle. Using an animation stand, Dragonframe and tea leaves this short animation came to life.
Mr. Fox
This was a more ambitious animation for myself just starting out, I had this elaborate idea to used stop-motion, paper cut out and then animate on top of this in Photoshop after I'd stumbled upon the short 'The Bear and the Hare" by John Lewis. There's no Photoshop animation but I plan on re-shooting this and completing my full idea when I have a spare moment.
Mirror Void
Mirror Void is an appropriation piece I did for one of my classes. I was appropriating Henry Selick and his work on Coraline. Teasing at the concept how stop-motion puppets come alive but the abstract thought of them knowing they are being moved by an animator. The original soundtrack I had for this stop-motion I have removed it so there is no sound.
