BREAKDOWN:

​

-  “11 Seconds Club" |  Acting Shot:

​    In this shot, I wanted to practice creating a realistic and expressive acting shot, where I focused heavily on facial animation and having the heavy emotions between characters read clearly.  I wanted to also practicing animating to a fixed medium shot camera, and looked at a lot of movies from movies like "Pursuit of Happiness" and "Ladybird" to see what a shot like this would realistically look like in a film.  ​

​

-  “Juno and Baby Ninka” | “Intrepid” Thesis Film:

​    In this shot, I wanted to capture the Baby dragon's quick and nimble movements, and used a 2d animation that I created as a guide for understanding it's line of action.  I had fun with this shot, and used different references of cats to detail its personality while also giving it the heavier weight of a dragon.  For the film, we wanted to make sure that the baby dragon felt curious, nimble, and fast in its personality while also being slick moving like an aquatic creature.    ​​​​​​​

​

-  “Apple and an Arrow” | Acting Shot:​​​

​    In this shot, I wanted to create a fun acting shot where a character is trying to shoot an apple off of the others head, though the characters completely on the same page.   This shot was also done for the 11 Seconds Club Challenge and was a project where I took a given audio and based a narrative around it.  I liked being able to play with props in this shot while focusing on acting, and wanted to push myself to give a more complex performance.
