 For this project, I had to animate a scene with dialogue. To do so, I used a fairly popular video from TikTok featuring Kingpin from Spiderman, where he says "it's not about the money Spiderman, it's about the METS BABY!"  This was a difficult project, but also a fun one. It was a great way to end the semester where I was able to put all the knowledge I had gained from previous assignments into this one.

In this project, I created a walk cycle. I animated a character walking as well as some objects in the background. I used the Tampa Bay Rowdies and their player, Forest Lasso, as the theme of the project, also adding a sign and cloud as part of the background.

In this project, I practiced animating weight, and the concepts of weight and how it affects a character. I created a fun animation based off Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs early struggles in this year's NFL season.

 This project was the first time I worked on a full character design, in the form of an adorable flour sack person. I first made a few prototype designs of the sack character to practice drawing it.  Ultimately, I decided to use Squid Game as the theme of the final project. The sack character cuts a cookie, but fails and is "eliminated."

 This project was a head turn animation. The character I used was from a classic video, known as the Duck Song. As soon as the duck hears that "there are grapes," he completes the head turn. This was a tricky project, but I'm proud of it!

 The second project I had dealt with overlapping-action, and with multiple active things to animate. To do this one, I made a fun little amusement park ride, called "bullet-ride." The little ball rides across the wire to other side, and lands nicely!
