Final Animatic
We had to draw and scan in several separate layers, color them in Photoshop, convert them into PNG files, and finally animate them to tell a story.
Our instructor gave us some leeway if we were not animation majors (which explains why my main background and two of the characters are PNG images and not hand drawn).
I wish my art skills were up to par but the main reason I am studying film is that I can't draw...
All together I had to draw and scan over 26 separate slates for my animation.
Here are some of them:
Here is the final Product (54 Seconds):
The Doughboy
I originally planned to have the Doughboy remove his neckerchief and turn it into a speedo but I ran out of time on the project. Hopefully one day I could pitch this to the animation department, 3D-animation department, or maybe just make it into a claymation myself.
But that will have to be a project for another day.

Ships of Sand by: Voltaire 7
At the beginning of the semester I helped crew on a music video directed by Steve Keele for the band Voltaire 7. The video was an idea that Steve had storyboarded, modeled, and animated and I was honored that he asked me to help with the filming.
To see the kind of work that was put into the video check out the before and after.
Here is the animatic Steve Made for the Video:
