​

1. “Chiquito” Student Thesis:

This is the first shot we see the teleportation actually work. Having to animate within the time to make the X works required a lot of back and forth, trial and error between my teammate and me. It was fun to have our Inventor go through a range of emotions with her pet. It took about three weeks to finalize.

2. “Chiquito” Student Thesis:

This was one of my favorite shots because of how dynamic it felt with the camera movement and Chiquito. It made me realize I really like animating cameras. It took me three days to complete the animation so I could get used to the camera rig. 

Avery Pendleton created the rig, and Anna Riva created all the textures, environment, and lighting. Murals were created by various artists. Camera Rig made by Shane Ryan

3. “Chiquito” Student Thesis:

This shot was my favorite camera angle because of how small Chiquito feels under a car. It was a challenge to get him rolling out of a ball with the device in his mouth since the device is very awkwardly shaped. It took about a week to finish.

3. ​“Chiquito” Student Thesis:

This shot was a challenge as Chiquito barely fits on the toolbox shelves. It was fun to really try to imagine what he would look like jumping up on top of something, similar to a cat. This shot took me about four weeks. 

​

4. “Upstream” Student Thesis:

This was a shot for a film made by Phoebe Lam and Kimmy Ma. It was my first chance I get to do Mo-Cap Clean up for a film. It was super fun, and I hope to get to work with more mocap in the future. It took me about 2 weeks to finish.

​

6. Stranger Things Audio Clip Lipsync: 

I decided to do a line from Stranger Things, one of my favorite shows. It took me about a week to finalize.

Character, Rig, and textures by Artem Dubyna

7. “Aqui”  Student Thesis:

I animated the ribbon attached to the puppet. It was super fun! It was a great challenge trying to match the image plane in Maya to make sure the ribbons matched the footage of the stop-motion puppet. Ribbon rig, model, and puppet animation made by Anabella Gonzales
