TITLE: Ball’s Fate
MEDIA: 2D Animation
SOFTWARE: Toon Boom Harmony
HARDWARE: Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M
CLASS: FMX 238 2D Animation II
PROFESSOR: Dana Corrigan
SEMESTER / TERM: SP 22
INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION: For this project, we applied the squash and stretch animation principle to a bouncing ball to demonstrate foundational animation techniques. The exercise focused on timing, exaggeration, and elasticity to bring the motion to life and convey a sense of weight and impact.
TITLE: Gym’s Life
MEDIA: 2D Animation
SOFTWARE: Toon Boom Harmony
HARDWARE: Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M
CLASS: FMX 238 2D Animation II
PROFESSOR: Dana Corrigan
SEMESTER / TERM: SP 22
INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION: For this project, we were tasked with creating a character and animating it to speak with dialogue. Each facial expression and mouth movement was hand-drawn individually, simulating the functionality of shape keys to match the dialogue and convey emotion.
TITLE: Dancer’s Walk Cycle
MEDIA: 2D Animation
SOFTWARE: Toon Boom Harmony
HARDWARE: Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M
CLASS: FMX 238 2D Animation II
PROFESSOR: Dana Corrigan
SEMESTER / TERM: SP 22
INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION: For this project, we created a 2D walk cycle to practice the fundamentals of character animation. The exercise focused on key poses, timing, and smooth transitions to convey natural movement and rhythm.
TITLE: Flour Sack Experiment
MEDIA: 2D Animation
SOFTWARE: Toon Boom Harmony
HARDWARE: Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M
CLASS: FMX 238 2D Animation II
PROFESSOR: Dana Corrigan
SEMESTER / TERM: SP 22
INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION: For this project, we animated the classic flour sack to explore principles of weight, anticipation, and personality in motion. I created a character board for the flour sack and animated it performing a tennis serve, using exaggerated poses to convey action and intent.
TITLE: Flying Pendulum
MEDIA: 2D Animation
SOFTWARE: Toon Boom Harmony
HARDWARE: Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M
CLASS: FMX 238 2D Animation II
PROFESSOR: Dana Corrigan
SEMESTER / TERM: SP 22
INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION: This is the classic pendulum animation exercise, designed to demonstrate the principles of timing and spacing. The animation focused on achieving realistic arc motion and weight as the pendulum swings back and forth.
TITLE: The Crystal Gems
MEDIA: RotoScope 2D Animation
SOFTWARE: Adobe PhotoShop
HARDWARE: Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M
CLASS: FMX 210 Digital Media
PROFESSOR: Santiago Echeverry
SEMESTER / TERM: FA 20
INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION:For this project, we created an animation using the rotoscoping technique. By tracing over live-action footage frame by frame, we captured realistic motion while adding a stylized, hand-drawn aesthetic to the video.
