Q5 Inventory Shortage Scene
(May 2022)

This is an animatic with Quantum 5, and the scene depicts a car sale gone wrong. At first the customer is excited to make their purchase, but the salesperson neglects to mention the inventory issues, disappointing the customer and eventually leading to the loss of a customer. Used Storyboard Pro

Social Media Post Animatics (Feb 2023)

These are a couple of short, experimental animatics designed for social media. With these, I experiment with quick, snappy action in a loopable format. Used Storyboard Pro

Q5 Mandy Intro (Feb 2022)

Working with Quantum 5, I storyboarded this Introduction scene of Mandy, a customer character for the series. She owns a pet shop and has an analytical thinking style, meaning she prefers to do her research and put thought towards all of her options. Used Clip Studio Paint

Personal Projects

Backpack Bandits

This scene is based of of a fight from a DND campaign. In the fight, some bandits attempt to rob the party on the road. I used it as an opportunity to practice boarding a comedic fight scene. Used Storyboard Pro

Dream Knight Trial
(Aug - Dec 2022)

This scene is based of of a sequence from a DND campaign, in which a characer is tested by their diety both on her physical and mental resolve. I used the sequence to practice boarding a more serious toned scene with dramatic weight. Used Storyboard Pro

LoZ Arena Duel
(July - August 2022)

This scene is a duel between a reckless fighter and a cautious defender. Based on the Zelda series, I used a friend's script, characters, and story to practice character acting and storytelling with an overall plot in mind. Used Storyboard Pro.
