Roach Disco

Here's a project that took 3 months to do in Flash class.  My first time collaborating with someone on a short together.  Keenan Hateley's idea to do a film about roaches dancing in CalArts for the theme, October, was a lot of fun.  He did the opening sequence, light animation, coloring, and music(his major), while I did mostly the layout and animation.

Weird Tigers

I did the sketches during summer when I though of a film involving a tiger.  I wanted to design it really abstract and it end up looking weird-ish.

Ink Train

I drew this old train at the Travel Town Museum in Griffith Park two years ago. I started from a distance then close up every drawing. Here's what it looks like.


Ink wash on brown paper





Jack and Marley

Last fall in comic book class, I made a 13 page comic about a young woman whose roommates are Jack the jackalope and Marley the scarecrow.  Everything was done with ink and wash on bristol board then cleaned up and adjusted in Photoshop.  Check it out.

The Ass in the Lion's Skin

A story class assignment which is to pick a folk tale and do vignettes of the characters.  
I chose this story due to the title and how short it is.




48 Hour Film!

My first 48 hour film which took 3 whole days to finish(didn't sleep but dozed off a little) thus breaking the rules.  The theme is cactus and it was done in Flash.  It was shown last Saturday in the Palace at CalArts, unfortunately the audio a lot muffled than I thought....

Storyboards with Amanda

Amanda and I decided to do some board studies at the film library on Forrest Gump today.  We spent about 3-5 minutes each while pausing and drawing each shot for about 30 minutes.  Note to self: Never chat too long while boarding or you'll lose your touch on quick sketching...






It's cool to see the back of the page darkened with marker.
