Animation Projects
During my time in college and university, I had the opportunity to explore various animation projects that allowed me to showcase my creativity and technical skills. My honor project focused on three-dimensional animation, where delved into character design and environment creation, pushing the of my imagination. Additionally, I worked on several two-dimensional animation projects, with different styles and techniques, which enhanced my storytelling abilities and refined my artistic vision. Each project was a unique experience that contributed to my growth as an animator.

This animation was created for my honours project, investigating animation techniques and the use of controller rigs as an alternative method to manipulating bones connected to the model. The project also examines the influence of game engine animations on the viewer's experience while watching a film.
Presented in a trailer format, the animation offers a brief glimpse into a fantasy world, captivating the audience's interest. To encourage the audience to form their own emotional connections and interpretations, the animation relies solely on sound effects, excluding any musical accompaniment.
