First Love

Working with Ken Duncan for the first time was the highlight of my home studio freelance work, allowing me the chance to take a short project from abstract through animation, serving as the proof-of-concept element for a feature development pitch. In less than three weeks -- after establishing the parameters of the scene with the client and studying hours of dance reference -- the layout, choreography and animation was rendered and delivered, exceeding the clients’ own high expectations. It also marked the conclusion of a year spent making the most of modest resources, finding creative solutions to a variety of technical and aesthetic challenges, and testing my own self-reliance to great benefit.

Responsible for choreography and all character/prop animation, using Maya software.
