Best Work

This piece of work that I have completed represents one of my best works:

This is an island scene I did for ANIM 411.

Final Project

The animation I am thinking about doing for my final project is a cutout animation. The animation will likely be 2 dimensional. For characters I may use some sort of cardboard cutouts. Overall I would like to create something that is funny and witty. Some examples where cutout animation include Southpark and JibJab cartoons.


Here is a JibJab cartoon entitled, "One Lucky Leprechaun - LepreKanye West"

Favorite Animation

One of my favorite animations is the Flash based animation entitled, "Animator vs. Animation" by Alan Becker. The animation is about an animator "battling" his own animated stick figure. The medium which the animation takes place is inside Adobe's Flash. The animation starts off with the animator creating a stick figure. The creator uses the Flash interface as his arsenal to torture the figure. However, the stick figure fights back by using "tools" of his own. Some of the tools the stick figure uses are the eraser and brush tools.

A unique aspect of "Animator vs. Animation," is Alan Becker uses Flash not only as the medium for the animation, but also for the story for which it takes place. What I like most about this animation is the resourcefulness of the stick figure. He finds out that he too can use the tools within Flash to battle back against the animator. Will the stick figure climb to victory? Find out now:
