Collaboration project with professional stop motion animator, Zach Moore. I hand-illustrated each element used in the video, such as the pumpkins, tombstones, doors, characters, ghosts, and monsters. This was a fantastic opportunity to show off my skills.
Both animations were done as finals, the first one in Storyboard Pro, and the second one in ToonBoom Harmony. The first animation is a story of 3 kids in a wedding venue trying to get the last cupcake. Both animations were extremely experimental and amazing learning experiences for these programs.
My Digital Childhood is a semi-animated animatic created to experiment with the software Storyboard Pro. This was a major passion project for me as I dug deep within my personal memories and experiences. The sequnecing in this project is meant to be overwhelming, as was the internet in the early 2000s.
The Midnight Movie Run was an animatic project I created my freshman year of college as an experiment with Premiere Pro. I wanted the project to feel like an old 80s-style cartoon on a vhs player. All graphics were hand-illustrated by myself along with the voice acting, audio splicing, effects, script, and writing.
This animation was made as an exercise to understand ToonBoom Harmony, made for easter sunday!
As a practice piece for animating in clipstudio and toonsquid, I created a recreation of the final scene from SAW 2004!
During my time as an intern with XYZ Production Company in Chicago, I learned to shoot, edit, and curate footage to push products, events, and spaces toward clients' needs. This reel consists of sizzles I shot and composited for Chicago's annual Windy City Smoke Out, held by the Number Project! These edits were created using both DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.
Throughout my time editing, I've become primarily interested in concert footage. This short edit consists of footage from one of my favorite bands, Panic! at the Disco, performing in Denver in 2009. This edit was created using DaVinci Resolve.
As a tribute to the Rockafire Explosion Band, I created an experimental video showcasing different clips I had gathered from all corners of the internet. I used this project as an outlet to experiment more with video archiving, splicing, and editing through Premiere Pro
Isabella Do The Dishes is a student-led short film showcasing our abilities for production collaboration. I personally was the producer, cinematographer, editor, color grader, and audio engineer. This project was created using Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Audition.
