	2007 Animation Reel

-->  Shotlist & credits

1-->  These clips are taken from a series of shorts commissioned by the University of 
Massachusetts to accompany web-based lesson plans for the Theater program.  Completed 
entirely by myself.  

2-->  "Dance of the Seasons," the third 24 hour challenge, directed by myself and Joseph Daniels.  
Responsibilities included preproduction / story work, character design, character animation, 
animation timing & coloring, and After Effects compositing.  The first few frames of animation here 
of the Owl were created by David Suroviec and backgrounds were painted by William Robinson.  

3-->  "Way of the Mantis," my senior thesis with partner Joseph Daniels.  Responsibilities included 
story & pre-production work, character modeling, rigging, some texturing work, rendering, After 
Effects compositing, and character animation (in all but one action -- the shot of the main 
character sparring with a wooden dummy was animated by Joe but because of the content of the 
shot it made more sense to leave this piece of action in my reel uncut).  

4-->  "Jack and the Beanstalk," the second 24 hour challenge, directed by myself and Joseph 
Daniels.  Responsibilities included pre-production / story work, character design, character 
modeling & rigging, character animation, rendering, and After Effects compositing.  Oh, and I'm 
the voice talent, too...

5-->  "Untitled," my Junior year RIT film.  Completed entirely by myself.  

6-->  "Splint & Kerplotzk," my Sophomore year RIT film.  Completed entirely by myself.  

Music -->  "Space Shuttle," by Buddy Rich.
