Most of my free time in 2021 was dedicated to this 15 minute animated video about Santa’s reindeer — who are all female! It was a collaborative effort with the theatre and music department at Owens Community College and made for Project iAm to help promote their Acoustics for Autism event.

The emphasis of this basic character animation project was to use phonemes for character speech along with basic body movement and character expressions. This was created as a demo for an animation course but it was fun to create at a personal level as well.

My demo reel is just a random fireworks display of clips from multiple projects over the years including hand-drawn pencil tests, 3D type, content that was broadcast on television, promotional content, web animation, and interactive multimedia.

This animated video was created to present at the Faculty Idea Exchange conference held at Columbus State Community College in Columbus, Ohio on June 7, 2019. The conference was attended by faculty from several Ohio colleges and universities, with the core purpose of sharing best teaching practices.

This animated promotional piece was authored in Adobe after Effects and was then shared via YouTube and Facebook to promote our event. I volunteered for ten years as lead chairman for the event and I learned a great deal about leadership during that time. I wrote a case study article about it too!

This is a video sequence I share during early lessons in my After Effects courses. It shows students a few examples of masking and other techniques. We carefully dissect the authoring file together so students can see how the various effects are achieved.

This animated sequence was created using Adobe Flash (Adobe Animate as of 2016). It was our annual holiday greeting for 2010 and was sent out to over 60,000 zoo members, donors, zoo staff, and staff at other institutions.

This video contains samples of animation projects I completed during my undergraduate degree at Arizona State University. The sequence includes animation and concept art from an interactive game, 3D animations, and still images from 3D modeling projects.
