Character Animation Reel


- Responsible only for animation -

1-3. These are shots from my thesis film, Cariño, created along with Carlos Taborda and Roshel Amuruz. The thesis has been a great challenge in terms of diversity of shots and learning how to optimize my workflow in order to animate an entire short film.

4. This is one of the shots I worked on for the senior thesis Papito. Throughout my time at SVA I've gotten involved with contributing to Senior Theses because I love the atmosphere of working on a production with a creative team. I enjoyed working in a new style of animation I hadn't previously experienced and trying to achieve a stop motion feel.

5-6. These are two of three shots I animated for HAMSA, a thesis film by Daniela Dwek, Maya Mendonça, and Chrisy Baek. This shot was definitely the most challenging of the three. The close interaction between two characters was something I had never explored before. I learned a lot through the process and look forward to animating more character interactions. In the sixth shot, I enjoyed exploring the rig and trying to create appealing face shapes for the main character, Tikvah.

7. This is a shot from the upcoming thesis Frostbite, by Nicholas Christie, Brian Luong, and Stephanie MacCarthy. Animating a quadruped was a welcomed challenge as it was out of my comfort zone, and I enjoyed animating one of the pivotal emotional moments of the film.
