animation has always been an incredible medium, and a huge draw for me. i, however, have no idea how to animate, so my attempts at doing so have always ended up sort of comical, intentional or not. please enjoy some of my unceremonious attempts from over the years!
STATUS :: continuous collection; never finished
full videos
the most recent animation of the collection, and the first i've done in a while. done as a final project for a digital art class of mine in college, finished with an all-nighter in tow. it's mostly rotoscoping. resources listed below.
resources from finalproj.mp4 -- Vaporwave Tokyo model by William Domeyer, Rain, Raining, Wet gif from Pixabay, Intro by C418
the first full animation i ever attempted to create, based off of the "game show" sequence from undertale. had a ball with it, and then never did it again, for some reason.

animatics
animatic i made for a newscast intro for my school. while i really loved the idea, it was far too ambitious for me to complete. i still feel bad about that.
small animatic i did a long while ago. i even recorded a (bad) voiceover, but i can't autoplay a video on google sites, so i just put a gif in here. at least the software automatically added captions, so that's nice.
as i recall, this was the first ever animatic i ever made. it was obviously never finished, but it taught me a lot. i'll have to find the actual date, but i think this was done in 2019 or 2020.
it was based off of the beginning of Rec Room's Crescendo of the Blood Moon quest, with a few of my buddies at the time.
storyboarding
most recent attempt at storyboarding. back to undertale, once again (the dummy encounter, for you nerds). i borrowed the storyboarding format used by The Amazing Digital Circus (as shared on Twitter). definintly not perfect, but one of the better ones, i'd say.
i'll get around to making it an animatic, at some point. hopefully.
second storyboard i tried. again, it's undertale related (the muffet encounter, for you nerds). didn't ever go further than this, but i made a background or two to try an animate it. i'll find it, eventually.
first storyboard I ever did. for the nerds out there, it's based on the very beginning of a little videogame called undertale that i really like. i never did animate it, but i'm pretty sure i made a timed version of it with voiced lines and everything. i'll have to dig through my computers to find it, but when i do, i'll throw it here.
