Lip Sync Exercise:
I'm on Speeeeed!



Spring 2008

This is just a short clip from an episode of House M.D.
I do not have permission for this clip.

This assignment involved learning and applying our knowledge on how to sync dialogue to the movement of an animated characters mouth.

I used Toon Boom Studio.

For clarification, the character is an onigiri, a Japanese rice ball.


Narration Project 1:
Santoki Song



Spring 2008

The project was to take a story of any kind that was not written by us and interpret it in our own way.

I used the "Santoki Song". This is a children's song in Korea.
This was all hand-drawn animation, that was done through the lunchbox system and edited in Final Cut Pro.


Final Project
Narration Project 2:
Shadow Play



Spring/Fall 2008

The project was to create a narrative using a story or plot of our own.

I originally had a completely different storyline but I got inspired by another idea.

I was granted permission to turn this in during the fall semester because I was ill during the finals.

The idea comes from what I went through while I lived far off campus.
I usually left to go home late at night and would walk around campus that was lit with orange street lights. I loved the idea of being accompanied by a shadow that changed perspective and form.

I hope to come back to this and make it better and longer. It was a bit rushed.
I hope to make is cleaner as well.

Done through Toon Boom Studio with a Waccom tablet.
