Grave Animation
Paper Bag Animation
This is a creative animation project that I did in a group of three. I had help from my classmates Rebecca and Levy. We each picked cards out of three hats. One hat contained protagonists, another had conflicts, and the final hat had settings. Based on the ones we picked we were supposed to make a short story (this is why the plot seems so random). I was assigned with modeling and animating the paper bag. I also did most of the post production editing.
Global Warming PSA
The reason that I wanted to do a global warming PSA was that I think that the environment is undervalued. 97% of scientists believe that global warming could lead to another mass extinction. It truly amazes me how people can disregard the state of the environment to such a degree. One thing in this animation that I am proud of was the way I was able to apply the Melt and Bend modifiers to make it look like the trees were dying.

Chess Match Animation (Kasparov vs Topalov 1999)
This was an animation that I worked on over the summer of my senior year. It is an animated version of the 1999 chess tournament finals match. There's a bit of irony in the video regarding the players. The person playing as black is white while the person playing as white is black. The main focus here is the animation. While it wasn't very advanced it did take a very long time to animate all of the pieces.
