Animation and Videos
The Adventures of Dr. Ess
A group stop motion animation following the misadventures of an explorer. It was created using Lego pieces, clay, and found objects. I contributed in the stop motion animation itself and set design. Stop motion recorded and edited using Dragonframe and Adobe Premiere.
Robot vs. Human Dance-off
A collaborative rotoscoping and 3D animation created from motion capture data and footage from a dance performance. I created the character designs and did part of the rotoscoping animation. Rotoscoping created in Adobe Photoshop and editing used Adobe Premiere.
Neverland
Collaborative interactive installation. Using Max MSP coding and a motion capture space, we created an interactive installation using Peter Pan's Neverland map. Markers representing locations on the map were placed around the motion capture space, and when a person with a motion capture wand in the form of Peter Pan's sword came close, sounds or music relating to the location would play. As a person walked around the space, they could track themselves on the map projected on the wall.
