Most of the animations posted below are my animation class assignments, before the start of this schoolyear (sept 2021) I had never seriously studied animation so even though I still have a long way to go, I'm very proud of how far I've come.

These are looping GIF blink animations for a school assignment that i made in 2024. i re-designed characters from an old animated show and made animated assets for on the reworked website (large project with multiple people and with software development as well)

> Animation exam. April to June 2023 <

for this years final exam I'm making an animated short film of my own characters, its about 1 minute long and the important base principles of animation are used to show everything i learned so far.

i also made the audio / music for it myself as well as writing the script and designing characters, props, backgrounds, etc.

this is my storyboard, i used most of these as a base for my entire animation, though i did need to change some things later on.

my plan is to make the animation in this style, i eventually chose to put way less details into the coloring, but for the rest this still holds up!

Its been very challenging & time consuming so far, but i am really enjoying the process as well. i learned a lot in such a short time. what i posted here are just a few of the sneak peaks into it and its all very roughly done to get the base out as soon as possible so i can add details later.
