Junior Year Final

Lucky, for my sanity, the last semester of Junior year was mainly focused on one project. A few of my peers and I decided we were going to actually produce the project we had pitched in our pre-production class, The Fox and The Monkey. In the background of this new 'Digital Frontiers' class we were also learning how to model a Vermier painting and rig it, which is probably the single most painful assignment I have ever had to complete in my 17 years of schooling. By happenstance I have no documentation of that awful project. The Fox and The Monkey was originally intended to be about a minute longer but we ran out of time near the end so this became a perpetual WIP.

Pre-Production Final

The final project for the pre-production class was quite a doosey. We were allowed to form groups so I partnered up with Sakari Singh and Laura Ambrosiano and we put together a pitch for a short film titled 'The Fox and The Monkey'. We wanted to tell a lesser known fairy tale and found this one in an African fairy tales book. This fairy tale was so short that we decided to bookend it with little snippets of another fairy tale which happened to be of Indian origins. This is the animatic we pitched.
