Indivdual Animations

A variety of hand-drawn 2D animations, 2D puppet Animations, and hand-drawn 2D effects animation. These animated shots were created as individual projects without a team, with the majority of the aspects being created by me or provided to me. I created backgrounds in Procreate and Photoshop, then animated them in Toon Boom Harmony or Procreate Dreams and did post-production work in After Effects.

2D Puppet Animation

Dino's Hell

A short animation about an unfortunate dinosaur that is frightened, but still lured in by a devious devil.  Animated in Toon Boom Harmony, I created all motion aspects. I illustrated all of the backgrounds using both Procreate and Photoshop. Compositing of environmental lighting, cast shadows, and audio mixing were done in After Effects.
