ANIMATION

2D and 3D foundations.

RECORD OF PROGRESS - ROCKPORT NETWORKS

2D motion graphics animation.

At the end of my co-op tenure at Rockport Networks, I was tasked with creating a presentation detailing what I had worked on. Given the visual nature of my job working in front-end web development, I decided to create an animated video to showcase my progress. The video was presented to managers from different departments, and was well received.

IMAGINARY APP

Creating the visuals of a future phone application.

After coming up with a simple phone application, I created an animated walkthrough of the app using album art, clipart of a phone, and custom background assets optimized for animation. For the scrolling action, I created one long image of songs and used a mask to hide the image outside of the phone screen.

DINO HUNT

The full process of creating and animating a Sinosauropteryx.

For this project, I was required to create a textured model, rig and weight it appropriately, then create an animation using the process of animatic to blocked animation to smooth animation. If I were to edit this animation post university, I would speed up the final scene to make the sense of weight and gravity feel more accurate.

VIDEO REFERENCE

The project required students to use a video as a reference for a 3D animation, to showcase their understanding of movement, impact and exaggeration.
