2-D Animation: Comedy Skits (2015)
- These are 2-D animations of characters I drew in Macromedia Flash 8, rendered each mobile apendage in 4K resolution, and then continued to animate it in After Effects CS6.
- The first video took me only 3 days to teach myself how to use Macromedia Flash 8 and Animate 2-D characters in After Effects. I only ever had experience animating in Cinema 4D so learning 2-D animation was a challenge, but very fun.
-The second video took me about a week due to relationship complications and multiple class projects orchestrated on the same week.
- DISCLAIMER: This is a replicated layout of the popular YouTube channel How It Should Have Ended (HISHE) from their "Super Cafe" series. I even emailed HISHE for permission to post the video and gained their approval. Thank you Tina! (See below for permission confirmation)
My Reborn Flower of Truth, Love, and Happiness (2014)
I wrote this story for my Junior English III class when my teacher, Mr. Kevin Taylor, just wanted us to draw a couple frames on a paper poster of any story we wanted. I didn't want to draw a poster, so I had asked permission to draw a book version of the project and then later made this video using After Effects CS6. The inspiration was from these ongoing dreams I had at the time and so I wanted to a story that reflects off something personal I had experienced a long time ago.
ME!ME!ME! - (Short) Parody Animation (2015)
This was a parody for the popular 2014 music video "Me!Me!Me!". I created a very short animated parody because I only had time to remake my favorite part from the original video. The music, the layout, the colours, and the meaning behind the song was truly a work of art in a very explicit way. Most people did not understand it at first, but once you understand it you can only go back to watch it and see it for yourself again to get that "Ohhhh I get it now".
Beowulf: Graphic Novel (2015)
For my Senior English IV class we read a epic poem called Beowulf. After we finished reading, we had to do a project about it in either a music video, an essay, or draw 41 frames about the whole story. Since I take good notes and I like to draw, I decided to do the 41 frames. So... yeah, drawing 41 picuters here I go!
My teacher, Mr. Jones, liked the book so much that it inspired me to animate and share it for others to view it in video format.

Remember Me (2017)
A pure heart, an adventurous mind, and the freedom of peace can be taken without warning. Living young and happy, not a care in the world, but then all of a sudden you realize it's not the place you thought it was. Corruption, manipulation, greed, and insecurities normalized to the mind of the young, for them to believe what they see is true when their hearts know it's false. The struggle to keep stable is drained day by day, month after month, until you realize how many years had passed. No matter the pain, no matter the sacrifice, the wallflower listens and understands those who are also hurt so he may give out his helping hand.
"I was broken. I experienced the darkest point of my life and forgotten who I was. I looked at myself and saw what I could have become. I accepted my past and moved on from it. But if I ever forget who I am, will you remember me?"
