Finally... If you're wondering where I've been for the past year and a half, I've been slaving away to this film. The day after the release of this video, I will be graduating college with a bachelors degree in Fine Arts for Animation. This is my senior film. 3 Semesters worth of work, all put together in this 1 and a half minute epic staring contest over the last blueberry muffin.

This film consists of all my talents as an animator, being animated mainly in stop motion, with two 2D characters, 3D modeled and rendered backgrounds, and eye drawn in 2D to replicate the "Puss in Boots" and "Spider-Verse" art styles.

The Stop Motion puppets were animated in DragonFrame
The 3D environment was modeled in Maya 2023 and rendered with Renderman
Some of the 3D textures were made in Adobe Substance Painter
The 2D elements were animated in ToonBoom Harmony
The 2D Eyes of the stop motion characters were drawn in Photoshop
The compositing and layering of the film was composited in NukeX
The editing, audio and timing was put together in Adobe Premiere

My art reflects my interests and creative outlook by diving into the world of pop culture and realism. I love to explore all mediums of art, from pencil to digital, 2D to 3D, and even surf in the realm of stop motion. What usually trends in my mind at the time will find its way to paper or screen to give birth to a new piece. I tend to grab inspiration from different media and combine them to create something nuanced. My artwork represents a story that will span across multiple pieces, whether in form of animation, digital, or comic form. I love to breathe life into the work I produce by creating a narrative in which my audience can engage in and feel like they're a part of. In the realm of action, drama and horror, I am to entertain others with my work and get them excited for what's to come. Entertaining others is what I stand for and it makes me happy to know I'm making others happy. Whether I make people laugh, cry or gasp with my work, as long as I have a positive impact in their lives, I can continue to work with ambition, discipline and a smile on my face.

Thank you to all my subscribers for being patient and loyal to me throughout this absence. I am here to announce that I am officially BACK.
Thank you for watching! Stay tuned for more content!
