Current Projects

A Sign of Life & Annabel Lee

A Sign of Life

A Sign of Life is a personal project in which I am the sole animator on as I work to create an animated short based on my friend Kayla McGuinn’s music.

It is currently still in production since I am the only animator working on the project; however, there is a complete animatic available for viewing.

Annabel Lee

Annabel Lee is a collaborative project I am doing with a group of artists and animators in the Georgia Tech Animation Club. I am the director of the project as the president of the club. It is planned to be a combination of both 2D and 3D animation and is based on Edgar Allen Poe’s poem of the same name. The music was once again composed by Kayla McGuinn. As of October 2024, we have completed an animatic of the short.

Experience

From January 2023 - August 2023, I was an animation intern for the Childhood Cancer Society (CCS). My experience there was absolutely incredibly as I not only received professional feedback from supervisors and sharpened my animation skills, but I also was able to help the noble cause of helping children with cancer.

All of the shots with the bear character are from this internship and we posted on the Adventure Ted social media page.

Birds at Work

I learned a lot about animation; however, I felt like I didn’t have much to show for it. As a result, I decided to quit nitpicking over my work and actually complete something. From that, I decided to create a complete animated short in one month.

It was exhausting work, especially since it was my first time; however, working on this project led me to learn so many different software, applications, pre-production principles, and organization.

I learned a lot from Birds at Work that I will take with me far into the future.
