The Tale of Búkolla is a short film I animated and fabricated with music composed by James Marinas. The story of Búkolla is based on the classic Icelandic folklore and children's story which has been told for generations to Icelandic youth.
Black Death is a selection of many animations created as a collaboration between faculty and students at The University of Texas at Dallas, highlighting the courses taught by Dr. Siham Raboune, Dr. Katrina Rushing, and Dr. Christine Veras. This collaboration brings together students from Neuropharmacology, Music Theory, and Experimental Animation to create short animations on the topics of mental health aimed at young adults on our campus. This included topics such as social anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and drug abuse. Black Death focuses on alcohol use. The animation was made with a paint-on-glass animation technique using tempera paint. It consists of hundreds of paintings and was created over 6 weeks and 100 man hours. Black Death was also screened at The University of Dallas Creative Research Symposium (scroll down for more information).
The Little Witch's Trip is an independent student short film that explores a variety of animation styles to showcase different artistic techniques. The short combines hand-drawn 2D animation, stop-motion with puppets, 3D modeling, and acrylic painting, each chosen for its unique ability to enhance the story. The goal of this project was to reflect my love for different forms of art and animation.
The Bird and The Fiddler Cat is a paper cut-out stop-motion animation made with paper from multiple scrapbook and magazine cut-outs. The goal of this animation was to sync animation with a piece of already exciting music The goal was that each action in the animation would fall on a beat in the music.
