Animations

This section features a selection of my animation work across stop-motion, 2D, and 3D.

Each project highlights my approach to storytelling, character development, and clear shot planning with strong pacing, from early concepts to final production.

I also provide voice acting for many of my projects. My animations showcase character voices and performance range, demonstrating how voice work adds depth and personality to my animations.

Stop-Motion Animation

Stop-motion is one of my favorite mediums because it combines hands-on craftsmanship with storytelling.

These projects showcase my attention to movement, pacing, and performance, as well as my ability to plan and execute animations frame by frame.

Selected Works:

Roasting a marshmallow
Blowing up Dynamite
Ball Throw
Making an Animation
Ginger’s Escape
The Night Glitchers
Is Your Refrigerator Running?
Who ate my donuts?!
The Birthday Cake Rush
