Animation

The Characters


Hi there. I see you met my character family. What do you think? Haha! Yea I know. A little on the wild side, but they are family. From prissy to crazy and everything in between. You'll love meeting them and getting to know each one.

Graphic Arts

The arts of drawing or painting or printmaking.

Feel free to browse around and take a look. These are all simple projects I have done.

This is an Animation featuring a droplet and his new friend, Pinky. Moe falls in love with this new friend. You have to guess the rest :)



Featuring song:
Turn All The Lights On by: T-Pain fest. Ne-Yo
Fall by: Justin Bieber



Characters:
Pinky - Pink drop
Moe - Water droplet

 

About my next project.

So. My next project is a Clay-mation. A Clay-mation is an animation with clay. For example; Chicken Run. Yep. That's a Clay-mation. Coming up is a Clay-mation with 2 Penguins that fall in love, have an egg, and a mean ol' fox comes to steal it away. Well, to Mr. Fox's surprise the penguins aren't ok with his plan. Well, let's just say, never mess with a parent's child.



Luke Alan and Tara Ingram are also in my group. Together we made all clay penguins, egg, and fox. We also made the scenery. 

My first project!!

It all Comes Down to Rigging. But what is Rigging? Well have you ever seen a claymation with a wierd item such as a tunnel that moves? Well computars and clay can not make that well, that's where Rigging comes in. It's where they make a tool that simulates that item they are trying to make.

Behind the Scenes. What goes on between shots? How do they make a claymation movie without stoping? Well, each second of a claymation is filled with at least 32 frames. They all form a movie view. Between each shot they slowly move the clay to form a hand motion, foot motion, etc.

Claymation Production: Coraline

Exquisit Energy. The work is never done on a claymation. There are constant tools, people, and scenery being made. Every time you turn around there is something new. From tunnels to Coraline's cat, the work just never stops.

Little Miracles. You have a drill, a hammer, a couple of nails, and scenery items. From there, it's up to you. Full of miricals and painful thumb injuries, you have created a set along with many characters.

Coraline is made of tons of pictures moving in fast motion to cause a smooth effect making the view look as if it's moving at normal speed. It is a Claymation with characters made of clay. Scenery is also put together and made with almost anything.

We have to make a Web. You remember above when you read about rigging? Well, how do you think the web was made? Yep, rigging. It was made out of some elastic wire.  It pulls back to simulate her falling in the web.

Focus Features. Basically, when making a film like this, you must have what ever tools you can find and a good STILL picture camera. You slowly take pictures as you fill in movie frames.

So what does each person do? Well you have to have people that line up faces with emotions and the lips must move with the words. Each person has a job.

Public Service Announcment.

Shop Lifting

The story about a horse that just thought he would be gangster and still an item. Well, the PoPo catches him and he ends up serving his time. Moral of the story: Don't Shop Lift

This is our set made of legos and clay. The entrance is made fully of legos and tall enough for the horse to fit under. The items on the shelves are made completly of clay.

Ms. Erica Bradley
To Whom It May Concern;
          It is my genuine pleasure to write this letter in recognition of the outstanding design work provided to the Wake Forest University “Friends of Chemistry” alumni group by Ms. Erica Bradley. As a new organization, with the goal of serving the Wake Forest University Chemistry Department and its students, past and present, the “Friends” identified a need to have an easily recognizable logo that could be used to ‘brand’ their correspondence, web-based materials, and promotional items. A steering committee member contacted Ms. Michelle Fox, who posed this challenge to Erica and her classmates. After careful consideration of all submitted designs, the Friends steering committee unanimously selected Erica’s design. She worked with the committee to make slight modifications to improve the ease of design reproduction, which led to the current Friends of Chemistry logo, which is now in wide use (see, for example, http://college.wfu.edu/chemistry/friends/). For these important contributions to the Friends of Chemistry visual identity, our department is most grateful.
The task undertaken by Ms. Bradley on a voluntary basis, inspired only by a design challenge with little to no guidance provided by the Friends of Chemistry, was not trivial in terms of its time demand and level of difficulty. It required Erica to work with a very limited color palette (the WFU gold and black colors), and to incorporate disparate design elements ranging from the WFU mascot to chemical symbols, while still creating something unique and cohesive. The resulting logo truly captures the spirit of the chemistry alumni organization, with an easily identifiable connection to the university. The logo has become popular in a very short time, impacting numerous groups beyond the Friends of Chemistry. For example, a Chemistry faculty member sought permission to have the logo prepared as fridge magnets (as giveaways to survey participants), and the Chemistry Department Undergraduate Committee used a variation of the logo on t-shirts as welcome gifts for more than 40 newly declared majors this past spring.
In conclusion, Erica Bradley’s winning design for the Friends of Chemistry logo has already benefitted the Friends of Chemistry organization as well as many others, and she is to be commended for her hard work, creative vision, and sense of spirit.


Sincerely,

2013 Final

Each movie above is an example of: Animation reel, animation demo reel, 2d animation reel, and freshman animation reel. All means the samething just about. My top favorit though would have to be the last video on the right: Kwoon - I lived on the moon. I am eccited about doing this next project.

Check my out on Sound Cloud!!!
