Out For Blood was made as my senior thesis, and is a 17-minute animatic serving as the pilot episode for an original fantasy/horror cartoon. It follows two men in a vast forest being hunted by a mysterious monster. It was completely written and illustrated by me and features the voices of Javier Flores and Chelsea Rebecca, alongside myself. Accompanying the main animatic, I made a short behind-the-scenes video documenting my process.
Out For Blood was featured in "Figment/Fragment: The 2023 Stamps School Senior Exhibition" and the winter 2023 "Lightworks" festival, both held at the University of Michigan.
This is an animatic made as my Second Year Studio project, meant to showcase a lineup of elemental-themed character designs and the characters' dynamics with each other (see more under the 'Character Designs' tab). Featured is a song from Steven Universe: The Movie.
An animation about my fear of the ocean I did as my final for Experimental Animation.
